Remarks
Note
This object or member has been deprecated, but it remains part of the object model for backward compatibility. You should not use it in new applications.
Use the SharedWorkspace object to add the active Microsoft PowerPoint presentation to a Microsoft SharePoint Server document workspace site on the server to take advantage of the workspace's collaboration features, or to disconnect or remove the document from the workspace. Use the SharedWorkspace object's collections to manage files, folders, links, members and tasks associated with the shared document.
The SharedWorkspace object model is available whether or not a document is stored in a workspace. The SharedWorkspace property of the Presentation object does not return a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) when the document is not shared. Use the Connected property of the SharedWorkspace object to determine whether the active presentation is in fact saved in and connected to a shared workspace.
Users require appropriate permissions to use the objects, properties, and methods in the SharedWorkspace object hierarchy.
Use the SharedWorkspaceFiles collection, accessed through the Files property of the SharedWorkspace object, to manage presentations and files saved in a shared workspace.
Use the SharedWorkspaceFolders collection, accessed through the Folders property of the SharedWorkspace object, to manage subfolders within the main document library folder of a shared workspace.
Use the SharedWorkspaceLinks collection, accessed through the Links property of the SharedWorkspace object, to manage links to additional documents and information of interest to the members who are collaborating on the documents in the shared workspace.
Use the SharedWorkspaceMembers collection, accessed through the Members property of the SharedWorkspace object, to manage users who have rights to participate in a shared workspace and to collaborate on the shared documents saved in the workspace.
Use the SharedWorkspaceTasks collection, accessed through the Tasks property of the SharedWorkspace object, to manage tasks assigned to the members who are collaborating on the documents in the shared workspace.
Use the CreateNew(Object, Object) method of the SharedWorkspace object to create a new document workspace and to add the active document to the workspace. Use the Name and URL properties of the SharedWorkspace object to return information about the workspace.
The SharedWorkspace object uses a local cache of objects and properties from the server. The developer may need to update this cache before performing certain operations or to save cached property changes back to the server. Use the Refresh() method of the SharedWorkspace object to refresh the local cache from the server, and the LastRefreshed property to determine when the refresh operation last took place. Use the Save() method of the SharedWorkspaceLink object and the Save() method of the SharedWorkspaceTask object after modifying their properties locally, to upload the changes to the server.
Use the Disconnect() method of the SharedWorkspace object to disconnect the local copy of the active document from the shared workspace, while leaving the shared copy intact in the workspace. Use the RemoveDocument() method of the SharedWorkspace object to remove the shared document from the shared workspace entirely.
Users require appropriate permissions to use the objects, properties, and methods in the SharedWorkspace object hierarchy. Use the Role argument when adding members to the SharedWorkspaceMembers collection to specify the set of permissions specific to each workspace member.
When using the SharedWorkspace object model, it is possible to create conditions where the SharedWorkspace object cache is not synchronized with the user interface displayed in the Shared Workspace pane of the active document. For example, if the CreateNew(Object, Object) method programmatically adds the active document to a new workspace while the Shared Workspace pane is open, the Shared Workspace pane will continue to display the Create New button. In circumstances like these, if the user makes a selection in the Shared Workspace pane that is no longer valid, an error is raised and a refresh operation is carried out to synchronize the display with the current document state and shared workspace data.
The Presentation object also has a Sync property which returns a Sync object. Use the Sync object and its properties and methods to manage the synchronization of the local and the server copies of the shared document.
