    Given that information protection is being pushed as such an important feature in the enterprise and I can evel label documents in Word Online as sensitive this really needs to be added soon.

    I have a password-protected Word file in my vault. Because of the p/w, I have to edit in my desktop Word program. But, after I edit the document, I can't find the edited version anywhere. Any suggestions on where to locate the edited document would be appreciated.

    I agree, as I use word online because my PC is Windows7, so when I am told that my document needs to be opened with the latest version desktop Word which I don't have, it really annoys me.

    Suppose I have uploaded password protected word file on my onedrive account and I want to open from online store, it does not allow.

    Please allow preview of password protected files in Teams.
    Please allow editing of password protected files in Teams and Word/Excel online.
    Please allow Teams to download password protected file. At the moment, the only way I found to download a password protected file shared in Teams is to open in Word/Excel and "save as".

    platform is nice, please and please this thing blocks our sharing capacity.

    You need to offer a function to anything that has been protected with a password and when it is uploaded to be viewed online a pop up box should appear to enter password and not a pop up box that says the file cannot be opened because of password protection.

    Is anyone at Microsoft reading these Uservoice suggestions?
    This one is open for 3 years now, it is in the top 5 of requested features for Word online and seems a pretty basic thing. Why is nothing happening here?
