SharePoint 2013 & SharePoint Online: How many co-authors can work on the same Office Document?

In SharePoint 2013 OnPremises the maximum number of authors in an Office Document is configurable as It’s stated in the following TechNet Url: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff718248(v=office.15).aspx. Therefore, we could understand that there isn’t a limit regarding to this setting…and we would wrong. Fortunately, in the SharePoint Software boundaries and limits article we can find a partial answer to this question (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262787.aspx):

• The recommend co-authors number in a single Word or PowerPoint document is 10.
• And the maximum number of co-authors in a single Word or PowerPoint document is 99. It’s not possible to overpass that limit since it’s a threshold.

However, I’m not 100 % sure if these limits are also applicable to other Office products where co-authoring is also possible: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff718249(v=office.15).aspx

Finally, let me share with you a PowerShell script that allows to read and update this setting for a given Web Application in a SharePoint 2013 farm:How to read and modify the maximum number of co-authors for Office documents

SharePoint 2013 & SharePoint Online: ¿Cuál es el número máximo de co-autores en documentos de Office?

En SharePoint 2013 OnPremises el número de autores es configurable tal y como se indica en la siguiente referencia de TechNet: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff718248(v=office.15).aspx. A partir de esa referencia, se podría interpretar que no hay límites en el número máximo de autores, pero afirmar esto no sería lo correcto y por suerte en el artículo de Software boundaries and limits for SharePoint 2013 para SharePoint 2013 (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262787.aspx) podéis encontrar la siguiente información respecto al número de co-autores en Office:

• El número de co-autores recomendado es de  10 para documentos Word y PowerPoint.
• El número máximo de co-autores es de 99 (se trata de un límite) para documentos Word y PowerPoint.

Lo que no he encontrado por ningún lado es si estos límites aplican también al resto de productos de Office en los que es posible el co-autoring o no:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff718249(v=office.15).aspx
