<p>After you have installed <b>Desktop Editors</b> on your computer, you can easily connect the program to your existing SaaS portal or create a new one so that you can use all the product capabilities such as collaborative editing, reviewing, commenting and communicating via the built-in chat.</p>

An Internet connection is required for creating or connecting a portal, as well as for real-time co-editing.
