What is an AWF file

AWF files mostly belong to AWF Viewer. AWF files use the Microsoft Compound file format to store work item data in a single container. They primarily serve as an Avaya Work Item File that is handled by dedicated software like the AWF Viewer.
This format bundles multiple streams of binary data that represent information used in specialized systems.
Some AWF files are also known as Autodesk Autocad Workfiles, which means they can be used in design workflows to store temporary or work-in-progress data.
Key details provided by FilExt.com:
  • Multiple data streams are embedded in one compound file.
  • They are optimized for internal use rather than for direct editing in standard text programs.
  • Access requires specialized software (AWF Viewer for Avaya systems or AutoCAD tools for Autodesk files).
    • FilExt.com tip: If you have an AWF file, opening it with a dedicated viewer is needed to properly see its content.

    How to open AWF files

    You need a suitable software like AWF Viewer to open an AWF file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your AWF file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a AWF file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
