Using Zoho docs in China and in the US

Using Zoho docs in China and in the US

Hello-  My team is half in the USA and half in China.    We want to use Zoho docs for online editing.

My China team can access Zoho docs created by the USA team via links sent to them through e-mail or via Zoho CRM,(Link is uploaded as a project attachment)  but my China team can not edit the doc.   They have to first save the doc to their account then they can edit the doc, but the USA team can not see any of their edits.

All team members are co-owner collaborators on the documents they are sharing.

What are we doing wrong?  Why can't my China team and USA team see each other's edits.    The USA team can see edits of other USA team members.

The process of keeping work and tasks in order becomes difficult and collaboration between team members can go haywire.  As a result, companies have shifted the way in which teams traditionally manage and organize their work. More organizations now want an exclusive, convenient place to work together, one that’s accessible by both internal and external collaborators.  That is why we have developed a

                                                                                                            Hello Zoho CRM, How do I update "Lead Status" to more than 100 records at once? To give you a background, these leads were uploaded or Imported at once but the lead status record was incorrectly chosen. So since there was a way to quickly add records in the system no matter how many they are, we are also wondering if there is a quicker way to update these records to the correct "Lead Status". I hope our concern makes sense and that there will be a fix for it. All the best, Jonathan
