Set default document handling

Decide which document handling option to use by default.

  1. Go to Drive.
  2. Click the gear button (⚙️).
  3. Select Settings for working with documents.
  4. Select In the cloud or Bitrix24 for co-editing.

Manage file access permissions

Users may have different access to the file you need to collaborate on. In this case, users with full access (e.g., file owners) can edit file permissions to share them with others. Open the file menu (☰), select Access permissions, and adjust settings in the pop-up window.
Configure access permissions to personal drive

If you give employees access to the file this way, they won't see it on their personal drives. They should go to your profile, click Drive, and find the file.


Lock documents while editing

If you don't want to allow several users to edit the same file, enable the Allow to lock document while editing option under account settings.
Lock document while editing

Check if this option is available on your plan.
Bitrix24 pricing page

Once enabled, you can apply it to selected files. They will be shown with the Locked icon.

After editing, unlock the file for further modifications. The file versions will be available in the Revision history section, where you can see who and when edited the file and restore its previous versions.
