Editing and Versioning Word Document (DOCX )Documents Directly in Foundry

Hi everyone,

I have created a Technical Design Document that documents our end-to-end workflow and integration design. The document is intended to be a living document, so it will need to be updated regularly as the design evolves.

I have currently uploaded the .docx document into a Media Set in a Foundry folder.

The current workflow is:

Create / update DOCX
        ↓
Download DOCX
        ↓
Edit locally
        ↓
Upload the updated DOCX to Foundry

This works, but it is not very convenient because for every update I have to download the document, edit it locally, and re-upload it.

I would like to know if there is a more Foundry-native way to manage this.

Requirement

Ideally, I would like to:

  • Store the DOCX in Foundry / Media Set
  • Open or edit the document directly from Foundry
  • Save changes without downloading and re-uploading manually
  • Maintain version history so that previous versions can be reviewed or restored
  • Ideally allow multiple users to update/review the document

Is there any existing Foundry feature, application, or recommended pattern for this?

I’m particularly interested in whether there is a recommended approach for DOCX editing and version management directly within Foundry, rather than building a completely custom solution.

Any guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
