Hi

It would be really beneficial to be able to update Word or Excel documents in real time, rather than constantly having to download the original document, update the info so it's current, and then reupload it.

Is this something that would ever be possible?

Thanks very much

Hi @Katherine Harrison,

It’s quite hard to handle real-time updates on documents in Trello without using some form of cloud storage. Trello itself doesn’t live‑edit Word/Excel files – it just stores or links to them.

If you want real‑time collaboration, the best approach is to store your files in a cloud tool that supports co‑editing and then link/attach them to the card (like OneDrive, SharePoint, or Dropbox)

Hope it helps 🙌
