It further “improves sharing options, improves sharing controls, and reduces the need to download and email file attachments”, Google said.
The feature is meant to streamline workflows by reducing the need to convert file types. Office editing will replace Quickoffice, also known as Office Compatibility Mode which has limited capabilities.
The feature is available to Google Workspace Essentials, Business Starter, Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Essentials, Enterprise Standard, and Enterprise Plus, along with G Suite Basic, Business, Education, Enterprise for Education, and Nonprofits customers. It is also available to users with personal Google Accounts.
