Is it possible to have editable embeded files(excel, word) on a website?

Question

I need to be able to programmatically take a file from one drive and change it to be embedded into an iFrame. I believe that's doable but I need it to be editable inside of that iFrame but not only from me but for multiple users and they can see any changes made while they're being made.

Example:
Have an embedded file in an iFrame on a webpage. If you and I go to that webpage then we should both be able to make changes to the file in the iFrame. We should also see each-others changes while they're being made.

I'm not sure if this is possible or not, or if something similar exists?

Thank you!

Hi @Patrick Rutherford ,

According to my research and testing, you can embed editable files on the site by changing action=embedview to action=edit , please follow these steps to test:

1.Select the file need to be displayed from the SharePoint library (e.g. Word).
2.Open the file in browser (Word Online) >> Click on File >> Share >> Embed.

3.Copy the Embed Code:

4.Edit action=embedview to action=edit in Embed Code, for example:

5.Now, navigate to your Modern SharePoint Online page. Add an “Embed Web part” and paste the code to Website address or embed code.

6.Save and Publish the page.

My test :(Two different users can modify the files in the iFrame and see each other's modifications in this page)
