## Frequently asked questions

**Which file types can I edit?**  
You can directly edit Office files Word (.docx) and Excel (.xlsx).

No, parallel editing is not possible. If a file is edited by multiple users at the same time, only the first saved change can be stored as a file version. All subsequent changes are saved as a new file.

**Is my data secure?**  
Yes, all editing takes place within the protected SecuRooms environment and does not leave FTAPI.

## Good to know

This new feature makes collaboration in SecuRooms even easier and more secure. You save time, avoid unnecessary downloads, and always maintain full control over your sensitive data.
