Colligo Contributor™ Pro is client software that enables users to easily access, modify, and create SharePoint content through three desktop interfaces: (1) a standalone desktop client for instant SharePoint access, both online and offline, (2) an Add-In for Microsoft Outlook® for 2-way access, email drag and drop and automatic metadata capture, and (3) a Windows Explorer® extension for seamlessly linking folders on a users file system with SharePoint document libraries.

Interfaces: Client, Outlook & Windows Explorer The Contributor Client looks and acts like the default SharePoint 2007 web interface, but offers the improved user experience of a full desktop application. With the Contributor Add-In for Outlook, users can easily move or copy emails and attachments between Outlook and SharePoint and better manage attachments in SharePoint. The Contributor File Manager seamlessly integrates SharePoint with Windows Explorer and intelligently links any application that uses a standard Windows File Open/Save dialog to SharePoint. |

Email & Attachment Drag-and-Drop Emails and attachments can be easily moved or copied to SharePoint libraries and folders through drag-and-drop or Outlook rules. Message fields are instantly captured. Users can set content types and apply custom metadata, then save emails as .msg files with an automatically generated unique name.

Folder Drag-and-Drop Complete folder structures may be copied from a users' desktop or between SharePoint document libraries with a simple “drag-and-drop” operation. The necessary folders are created in SharePoint, files uploaded and metadata values set on each file imported.

Document & Form Libraries Specific SharePoint document libraries or folders are synched to the Contributor interfaces with easy-to-use toolbar buttons. In the Outlook interface, libraries are accessed through a folder tree. Documents are easily opened, edited, and saved. Content is added to libraries through drag-and-drop or by using forms.

Views & Metadata Views can be used online and offline to quickly organize and find content. Metadata for documents and list items can be edited or added to one or multiple items at a time, with a simple right-click action. Default folder-level metadata can be set for automatic application. Multi-value lookups are also supported.

Synchronization & Version Resolution Users can select specific libraries, folders, or lists for sync. Cached content is kept up-to-date with any automatic background sync. When online, modifications to content can immediately trigger synchronization. Configuration options can be set by individual users or locked by IT. Elegant conflict resolution, integrated with Microsoft Word® compare and merge, notifies the user if conflicting edits have been made by multiple users while offline.
