6.6. Linking Documents to LibrariesKeeping a local copy of a document linked to SharePoint is useful for any file you use a lot, because you can just open it from your desktop. It's also handy when traveling, since you don't need a network connection to access the file. Changes can be synchronized later, when you have access to the network again. Whether you can link a SharePoint document to a local copy depends on where the document is stored in SharePoint and how it was created. Only documents that are part of a document workspace created from the Shared Workspace task pane can be linked with local copies of the document. If you are working from a library that is part of a team site, you must create a workspace for the document before it can be linked. To do that:
The last step is optional, but it enables you to publish the document to update the library with your changes. See the next section for details.
