FAQs About WOPI Development Services

WOPI stands for Web Application Open Platform Interface. It is a protocol used to integrate Microsoft 365 for the web with an application that stores files. It allows Microsoft 365 for the web to access and modify files stored in that service.

A WOPI host is the application or cloud storage service that stores files and provides the REST endpoints used by Microsoft 365 for the web to access them.

The requirements depend on the intended actions. Microsoft lists CheckFileInfo and GetFile for viewing. Editing requires further operations, including file updates and lock management.

Yes. A WOPI host can support document editing by implementing the operations Microsoft specifies for the editing scenario, including PutFile and relevant lock operations.

No. Microsoft states that a WOPI host does not need to implement every operation. The required operations depend on the capabilities and actions the host intends to support.

WOPI discovery is the process of reading XML from a Microsoft 365 for the web URL to identify application capabilities and determine how those capabilities should be invoked.

Yes, subject to technical feasibility and Microsoft's applicable program requirements. We can assess your application's file storage, access controls, and document workflows before recommending an integration approach.

For integration with the Microsoft 365 for the web cloud service, Microsoft states that the organization must be a member of the Microsoft 365 Cloud Storage Partner Program. The program is currently intended for independent software vendors whose business is cloud storage.
