Holding Web Discussions

Web discussions are threaded discussions which allows users to collaborate together in a Web environment. Users can add and view discussions items, add in documents during the discussions and carry on conversations. Since the discussions are entered into a different area from the shared document, users can modify the document without effecting the collaborative discussion. Users can add changes to read only documents and allows multiple users to create and edit discussions items simultaneously .
