Is there any description  of the expected contence in the Document management  office plugin?  We have installed the Plugin and it seems to work as expected. But I expect to have at least tree different functions, check out, check in and create new documents.

In the installed Plugin, the Create new document is the only available action.

 

Is the checkin and check out button possible to activate in the Plugin or is this an limitation of the Plugin  to only allow  “New documents”?

You got it right, there are no secret features.

The official Office add-in from IFS only supports creating a new document from a file in Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook using the “Save in IFS” command. That’s it. It sounds limited but it was mainly created for people receiving things from external parties, and the add-in adds a lot of value for those type of users.

If you want more, you could have a look at what Addovation adds to this. I am sure @AndreasIsengaard would be happy to tell you more about that solution :)
