• TapRecent to show files you've opened most recently. IfRecent is greyed out, it means your configured SharePoint environment does not support that option.

Labels under each file tell you when it was last updated and if it's currently shared. If a file is available for offline viewing, the download icon appears.

To open a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint document, you must have Office for iPhone, or Word, Excel, or PowerPoint for iPad installed on your device.
