    ProjectWise Share and online document editing

    Hi, I am currently trying to configure a hosted ProjectWise Work Area, to be an associated project and also use Project Share to allow multiple non-PW explorer users to edit word documents online. 

    I have tried a number of situations and it seems I can only get the Word document to be editable through the WOPI if the Project Share is not used and the file is not syncing to/from ProjectWise. 

    If I Create a Work Area, then associate it to an Online Project, there is no option to enable Project Share. If I don't use an associated project I can create the Project Share, however, the files I add to the shared area (regardless of if they are added online or through PW explorer) are READ ONLY through the WOPI. There is no button to enable editing and the word documents are in PDF or View mode. 

    If I use a standard Share file inside the online project and add a word document, this allows editing through the WOPI, although it does not appear in PW explorer as this isn't a ProjectShare. 

    Is this a setting I haven't correctly set from the administrator module or on the web services gateway? 

    Is there another way to have a true single source of truth for all our project data, whilst enabling the non-PW-Explorer-initiated to work as they normally would? I'm starting to lean toward a SharePoint / Team site that is synced to PW using PowerShell or the API.

    Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 

    Cheers
