Hi, is there any way to view/edit word documents within Appian tempo view as we do on one drive or google docs? We have a requirement to provide options to view/edit word documents within Appian tempo view if possible. so that it will be easy for end users.

What's the full end-to-end requirement here? Do you need to be able to send the document anywhere e..g attached to an email, or to a document management repository, or to have it printed?
