A Note on Working Directly off of a Network Drive

It is possible, while using the AnyConnect application, to work on documents directly through a network drive, but it is not advised. Connection issues may corrupt open network documents. Additionally, if the document is on a shared drive, working directly on the network copy keeps others from being able to view or copy the file. To avoid any issues, best practice is to work off of a local copy (a file copied from a network drive to your local computer). While using the AnyConnect application, locate your document and save it to your local computer. Once you have completed your work, you can copy it back to the network drive.
