This will bring up a menu of any 365 apps you may have recently used.  You can search for a specific app in the search

For example, we will click Word.  The options you see will be similar across other apps.  You can create a blank 

document, or you can click "Upload a file" and edit a document saved on your computer.

Working in a document will feel very similar to using the Desktop App.  Most basic features should be available, but some more advanced features may only be available in the Desktop App.  This article from Microsoft outlines some key 

differences.


Documents you create or edit are automatically saved to your OneDrive Storage.  If you like to save a copy to your 

computer's files, you can click File -> Create a Copy -> Download a copy.
