How to use it well

CODE is a development edition for exploring collaborative office editing on your own server. Use it to test file-platform integration and representative documents, while keeping the vendor’s distinction between evaluation and supported production deployment clear.

Deploy CODE in a test environment and connect it to a supported file platform before inviting collaborators. Try representative office files and observe resource usage. For business-critical rollout, follow the vendor’s recommendation to use a supported production offering rather than treating the development build as equivalent.
