Microsoft Office Backstage view
Microsoft Office Backstage view replaces the file menu across the core Microsoft Office 2010 applications. Backstage view helps you find commonly accessed commands when opening or finishing a document, including opening new or existing files, defining document properties, and sharing your information.
Designed using data on product feature usage generated by the Customer Experience Improvement Programme, the Backstage view also brings together related tasks, making it easier to work with your documents. For instance, printing tools - previously spread across several commands (page layout, preview, print) - are all together in one Print tab within the Backstage view. You can assign metadata to a file, check it for accessibility, or make sure it's finalised and ready to share with others. Backstage lets you share, print, and publish your documents with just a few clicks.
Backstage view is extensible. For businesses, IT can incorporate work and information flows from other systems and highlight them right within the most useful Microsoft Office application. For example, Backstage view lets you bring those back-end accounting or HR workflows right into Office 2010.

Ribbon
The Ribbon replaces traditional menus and toolbars with a fresh, highly visual layout of commands, organised into a set of tabs, to help you find the features you need fast. The Ribbon was introduced in Office 2007, when it enhanced a few of the Microsoft Office applications. It made the available commands and tools more visible and easier to access so you could focus more easily on your content.
In Office 2010, every application has the Ribbon, including favourites such as OneNote 2010, Publisher 2010, InfoPath 2010, SharePoint Workspace 2010 (the new name for Microsoft Office Groove 2007) and the new Office Web Apps. The Ribbon brings new features such as Outlook 2010 Quick Steps to your attention and is customisable so you can personalise it to your work style.

Co-authoring in Office 2010
Co-authoring refers to the ability for multiple authors to edit a document, presentation, spreadsheet or notebook at the same time, allowing you to connect, share and accomplish more when working together. With the new co-authoring experience available for Word 2010, PowerPoint 2010, OneNote 2010 and Excel 2010 (through Excel Web App), you and your co-workers can work on a file from different locations, brainstorm ideas, control versions better and meet deadlines faster.
