Yes MS office can do it natively in the apps now. but that does use one drive sync. It didn't have that support at first, so you had to use web version for collab.I assume the author is going off old info. That being said, I wouldn't be suprised if MS tries to make the local programs a web shortcut someday.
Libre working towards live collaboration is huge, it's probably the biggest modern features keeping IT nerds from pushing to their bosses as a free replacement for Microsoft.
Yeah I assumed old info as well. And with electronjs allowing web apps to run as native apps I also have suspicions that the version between web and native is going to blur out with MS apps.
I am so hyped for Libre software. Inkscape is another amazing software that has come a long way recently.
