Your company uses Microsoft SharePoint Online for collaboration.
A document library is configured as shown in the following table.
You need to enable the coauthoring of documents in the library.
What should you do?
A.
Change the Who should see draft items in this document library? setting to Any user who
can read items.
B.
Change the Create a version each time you edit a file in this document library? setting to
No Versioning.
C.
Change the Require documents to be checked out before they can be edited? setting to
No.
D.
Change the Require content approval for submitted items? setting to No.
Why is the answer C? The requirement is to REQUIRE documents to be checked out before they can be edited, why on earth would you make that setting NO?
Actually, none of these answers appear to be correct, they all contradict the requirements.
Look down below. Justin Thompson provides a most excellent explanation.
Suppose a file is checked out to user A, so only user A can see and make the changes to that file and other user can’t see or have an access to files. So “Require documents to be checked out before they can be edited” should be “NO” for “COAUTHORING” C is correct.

Configure versioning for co-authoring in SharePoint 2013
Require Check Out setting should not be enabled in document libraries that are used for co-authoring
actually C is correct because Co-Authoring doesn’t work with Item checkout.
Correct, B was also tempting because Versioning goes from updating upon change to a timed trigger (every 2 hours for example). But C sounds like the best choice.
Correct answer is C:
From Technet Article “Overview of co-authoring in SharePoint 2013”
Check out – When a user checks out a document for editing, the document is locked for editing by that user. This prevents co-authoring. Do not enable the Require Check Out feature in document libraries in which co-authoring will be used. By default, Require Check Out is not enabled in SharePoint 2013. Users should not check out documents manually when co-authoring is being used.
