1. To start collaborating on a new document, move or save your document in Box:
   • On Mac, drag your document to the Box folder in the Finder sidebar. If Box isn't in the Finder sidebar, open the Box app from the Applications folder.
   • On iPhone or iPad, move or copy your document into Box using either the document manager in Pages, Numbers or Keynote or the Files app.²
   • Online in your Box account, sign in to your account, then drag the document to the All Files screen. Or click Upload, choose File, then choose the document.
2. To invite others, open your document from the Box folder, click or tap the Share button, then invite people:
   • On Mac, click Collaborate on Box, click Continue if necessary, sign in to Box, select the document in box.com, then click Share to invite participants.
   • On iPhone or iPad, tap Invite People on Box, then invite participants.
   • Online in your Box account, select the document in box.com, then click Share to invite participants.
3. After you’ve started collaborating, click or tap the Collaboration button  to see what participants are doing and manage the document: 
   • You can see edits made by others in real time and what they’ve done recently under Latest Activity.
   • To change permissions for your document, click or tap Manage Shared File on Box. A list of participants will open in your browser online at box.com. Click or tap in the Permissions column for the participants whose status you want to change. 

If you're not connected to the internet, you can still edit a shared document. Edits you make offline will be saved for at least 30 days and will be uploaded to Box automatically when you go back online. Other participants will see your changes after they've been uploaded. You can check the sync status of your document from the document manager on iPhone or iPad, or by choosing View > Show Sync Status on a Mac.
