Model Integration for Microsoft® Office beta questions.

[timoc]

As the last version i have of this plugin is from 2016, I am looking at testing the beta.

I have two questions not covered in the documentation.

1. What is the difference between 32 and 64 bit installation? The docs say the plugin only works for EA 15 at the moment, but which plugin replaces the current plugin? When i run the a beta installer, instead of removing the old and installing the new plugin, it brings up the standard remove or repair menu. I also cannot tell if it possible to install the 32 and 64 bit side by side, e.g. for testing in EA 15-86 and EA16-64.

2. As this is essentially the first update since introduced with EA 12, whereas since 2016, Office is now Office365 and tightly coupled to Sharepoint, are we going to see Sharepoint document sync support? or a bundled Pro Cloud Server integration plugin for Sharepoint sync support?

1. 32 and 64 bit relate to your office installation, not your EA installation. You can use either with any 32 bit edition of EA. We have an update hopefully not too far away that will add support for a 64 bit EA.
2. There will be more updates, I don't know what those updates will be yet.

Hello
can the beta version be installed an uninstalled along the current office Integration MDG without issues?  Also how do we submit feedback and suggestions about the MDG - thanks!!

No, it's the same product as the previous versions and they would interfere with each other if you tried to install both.

Now we have EA16 versions to confuse the issue, can you make this office dependency clear in the documentation please?

2. There will be more updates, I don't know what those updates will be yet.

Any ideas when this will be known? Also i cannot find any specific documentation on the Sharepoint PCS integration plugin, is that available somewhere?

I'm sure it will be.

Unfortunately, we don't release our plans for things like that. So you'll know when (if) we release something that supports it.

It's mentioned in the Install and Configure plugins page, but if that's not what you're looking for I can't help.

Your surmise was correct, I was looking for specifics on what it does.
