Office365 collaboration with sharepoint across all devices

We have MS Word SOP's that require users to sign off after reading them. The SOP text will be locked but their is a table the users fill out with their name will be editable.

This document works fine on our local file server but I want to put this on Office 365 SharePoint so it will be accessible through the web for our remote workers.

When I try this, the functionality is reduced where the Word app will be able to edit but the O365 web version of Word can't.

The Word documents were created by the same version of office Word 2016

I would also like users to be able to access these SOP's from their iPhone and be able to edit (sign off)

Is this possible? It seems like an easy thing but Office 365 doesn't work as I would expect with sharing and editing.

Thanks in advance

Well the web app version of Word has some limitations compared to the full-blown desktop application, you cannot expect full parity there. There's a detailed list of functionalities that will not work here: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Differences-between-using-a-document-in-the-browser-and-in-Word-3e863ce3-e82c-4211-8f97-5b33c36c55f8

Online editing requires Office Online licences which is part of Enterprise Pack E3.. Is that enabled and u r not able to edit the document in Web?

Hello Rajkumar, I have O365 E3 could you tell me where I would check to see if the Office Online Licenses are enabled. We do have access to the web version of all the Office products

Does anyone know if a Word document stored on Office 365 SharePoint could be editable on a IOS device?

Thanks,
