# Shared team files on desktop
Source: https://docs.aden.space/docs/help/more/desktop-team-documents

Move a file from your computer into a team from the rail, Finder or ⌘K. Every save syncs with the team, and a pin shows when a teammate saved a newer version.

## What it is [#what-it-is]

A file you keep on your computer, like the team's finance sheet, can live in a
team instead. You keep opening it in Excel (or whatever app you use), and
everyone on the team works on the same file: your saves reach them, theirs
reach you.

## Using it [#using-it]

* **From the rail**: right-click a pinned file and choose **Move to team…**,
  pick the team and choose &#x2A;*Move to \<team>**. The pin keeps working, wears
  the team's avatar in its corner, and its tooltip says which team it syncs
  with.
* **From Finder**: right-click any file and choose **Quick Actions › Aden –
  Move to Team** (Explorer on Windows lists it in the file's menu).
* **From ⌘K**: type "move to team" or "share file", or pick "Move
  \<file> to a team" for a pinned file.

The file moves into the team's sync folder, under **Team Documents**. If the
team has no sync folder on this computer yet, one is set up beside your other
team folders (or in `~/Aden`), and live sync turns on for that team.

**When a teammate saved a newer version**, the pin gets a dot. Click it to
get the new version and open it, or right-click and choose **Get the new
version**. If the file is still open (in Excel, say), close it first: the
app won't swap a file out from under an open window.

**If two people save at once**, nobody's work is lost: the save that arrives
second is kept beside the file as "\<name> (\<person>'s conflicted copy
\<date>)", and the file itself shows the other save.

**To see it in Aden**, right-click the pin and choose &#x2A;*Show in \<team>**: the
team's Documents page opens.

**To delete it from the team**, right-click the pin and choose &#x2A;*Delete from
\<team>…**, then **Delete for everyone**. The team's copy is gone for everyone
and can't be restored; yours stays on your computer and stops syncing.

Your saves go up a few seconds after you save. This is file sync, not live
co-editing: for
two people typing in the same sheet at once, pin the Google Sheets or
OneDrive link instead.
