By using only the AJAX Web 2.0 client interface, all versioning and locking functionality is available to the user. However, certain automated document retention functions will not be active. By using only the Workplace Assistant in combination with the OpenOffice.org, StarOffice or Microsoft Office suite you can utilize the fully (automated) functionality related to document verisoning and locking. Advanced full text search functions are available in the browser environment and the Workplace Assistant. Certain other features, such as, discussion,  and calendaring functionality is only available in the web client. Combined, the wide range of possibilities allows you to access your shared documents with unrivaled freedom and flexibility in your office work.
