# Maintain project documents in the collaboration space

The **Documents** tab within a project provides a central location for storing, organising, and collaborating on project-related files.

Document collaboration is enabled through integration with Microsoft 365, allowing teams to manage files within familiar tools such as **Microsoft Teams** and **SharePoint**.

* * *

## Important Prerequisite

Before document collaboration is available:

-   A **Microsoft 365 Group must be associated with the project**
-   Once associated, the project gains access to its dedicated collaboration space

This connection enables document storage, sharing, and co-authoring capabilities.

* * *

## Accessing Project Documents

1.  Open the required **Project**
2.  Navigate to the **Documents** tab

From here, you can view and manage all project-related documents.

* * *

## Document Storage Structure

The Documents area typically includes:

-   **Group Documents** – Files stored within the Microsoft 365 group (shared collaboration space)
-   **Additional Documents** – Other project-related files stored within Altus

This structure supports both collaborative and supplementary document management.

* * *

## Working with Documents

Once a Microsoft 365 Group is linked, documents can be managed through:

### Microsoft Teams

-   Access the **dedicated project Team and channel**
-   Upload, edit, and collaborate on files in real time
-   Maintain conversations alongside documents

### SharePoint

-   Access the **associated SharePoint site** (if enabled)
-   Organise files using folders and metadata
-   Manage permissions and version history

* * *

## Opening Collaboration Spaces

From the project, you can directly access:

-   **Open in Teams** – Launch the project’s Teams workspace
-   **Open in SharePoint** – Open the associated document library

These options provide quick access to the full collaboration experience.

* * *

## How to Use This Feature

Use the Documents area to:

-   Centralise all **project-related files**
-   Enable **real-time collaboration** across teams
-   Maintain **document version control and structure**
-   Ensure consistent access through a shared workspace

* * *

## Tips

-   Ensure the Microsoft 365 Group is configured early in the project lifecycle
-   Use Teams for day-to-day collaboration and communication
-   Use SharePoint for structured document management and governance
