Hello,

We have created a small POC with our WOPI host and Office online server with edit capabilities.
When we try to edit the document there is no option that says edit in local app (like MS Word etc).

Can you please help to bring that option online in browser so that we can see that the users will be able to edit the document locally in their own MS Office?

Thanks,
Varun

    Hi @Varun Arora

    Does this issue occur with all Office files?

    Besides, where does these files stored?
    If these fiels are from SharePoint, please make sure this Option was not hidden, for more please checkout "Enforce edit in browser"

    Here is a similar thread "Edit in Word using Wopi and Office Online Server", you could have look.
