Update Office files via the WebDAV protocol

Edit Office files on file pages

1. Navigate to the change proposal of the file page.
2. Select Edit file with Office.
   • If this option is not available, you either don't have edit permissions for the page, or the WebDAV security settings (see below) have not yet been configured.
3. Edit the file and save your changes. This will update the file in Ariadne and create a new version.
4. Once the change proposal is approved, the updated file will be transferred to the published version.

Configure WebDAV

To edit Office documents directly from Ariadne, two requirements must be met:

• You are using Office 2010 or newer.
• Ariadne must be registered on your local computer as a trusted website in the "Local Intranet" security zone.

There are two ways to add Ariadne to the security zone:

• Centrally by IT: Deploying a group policy across all computers (only possible through your IT department).
• Locally on your computer: Manually adding Ariadne to the security zone.

Deploying a group policy (through IT)

1. Open the Group Policy Editor.
2. Navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer > Internet Control Panel > Security Page > Site to Zone Assignment List.
3. Enable zone assignment and add Ariadne.
4. Enter the Ariadne address and set the value to 1 (for Local Intranet).
5. Confirm your changes.

Add Ariadne locally to the security zone

1. Open Internet Options (e.g., via Windows search).
2. Switch to the Security tab and check if the message Some settings are managed by your system administrator appears at the bottom.
   • If yes: Your IT manages the settings centrally via group policies. Contact your IT department to have Ariadne added.
   • If no: Continue with step 3.
3. Select Local Intranet and then Sites.

4. Uncheck Automatically detect intranet network and select Advanced.

5. Enter your Ariadne URL in the format customername.ariadne.cloud and add it to the Local Intranet zone.
6. Confirm your changes.
