Hi everyone,

I'm exploring options to allow users to edit .docx documents directly within my application using Box.

While researching, I came across the ui.openWith() method in the UI Elements documentation, but I see it's now marked as deprecated. Before I go further, I wanted to ask:

  • What is the recommended alternative to ui.openWith() for opening and editing Word documents?

  • Does the ContentPreview UI Element support editing, or is it strictly for viewing?

  • Are there other supported ways to integrate an editing experience for .docx files stored in Box?

I'd love to hear what the best practices are for this type of functionality.

Thanks in advance!
