Please give a brief summary of your issue:
Possibility of doing realtime collaboration when in OfficeEditing mode .
Please describe your issue and provide steps to reproduce it:
Is it possible to use the OfficeEditing mode with 2 participants at the same time. Like the realtime collaboration possibility when editing annotations in PDFs? For PDFs it works via the events to produce XFDFs. I would like to do the same while editing a docx in officeEditing mode.

Hey Darian,
our Software is a colalboration suite which allows collaborative fill out webpages in case of support cases. During that process we also have the case that PDFs are opened and filled out together, e.g. for some contracts. To achive it there we synchronize the XFDFs as you have it in your examples and that works fine.
Some of our customers now even use docx files and would therefore be interested to do also the collaboration there. Without the feature you can only use the standard annotations as with a PDF.
Regards,
Denis Trüby
