Use the SharedWorkspace object's collections to manage files, folders, links, members, and tasks associated with the shared document. Use the SharedWorkspace object to add the active Word, Excel, or PowerPoint document to a SharePoint document workspace site on the server to take advantage of the workspace's collaboration features, or to disconnect or remove the document from the workspace site.
