ONLYOFFICE Editors v.5.5: A big update with document comparison, new content controls and more

Great news, everyone!

Version 5.5 of ONLYOFFICE online editors is already available with lots of enhancements, including document comparison, new types of content controls, mirror and gutter margins, custom sorting in spreadsheets, and even more.

Document editor got several professional features.

You are now able to quickly compare two documents and see the differences between them with revision marks (there are 3 display modes, like in reviewing). No single change, even the minor one, will go unnoticed what’s especially important when you often have to deal with contracts or other legal documents.

You can accept and reject changes one by one or all at once, as well as merge the changes and save them as a new version of the compared document.

Where to find: Collaboration tab

Along with plain and rich text controls you get new types of content controls for creating forms with input fields:

• combo boxes,
• check boxes,
• drop-down lists,
• dates,
• pictures.

Where to find: Insert tab → Content Controls

Give your documents a professional layout by setting mirror and gutter margins for pages that will be bound together.

Where to find: Layout tab → Margins → Custom margins

Version 5.5 allows you to label images, shapes, tables, charts, and equations by adding captions to make your document more structured and easy to follow.

Where to find: Object context menu

Work with spreadsheets became even more convenient and effective.

Use the newly added Custom Sort option to create your own rules for sorting data.

Where to find: Data tab

Printing can be very annoying, especially if your spreadsheet is too wide or too tall to fit on a single page. Use Scale to Fit option to make your worksheet fit a printed page.

Where to find: Layout tab

• Control the alignment of graphic objects (images, shapes and charts) with the Cell Snapping option;
• Fill cells with colors, patterns and gradients;
• Perform actions (move, delete, copy, hide, etc.) with several worksheets in bulk;
• Re-calculate formulas in entire workbook or your current sheet after performing actions that may have influenced your data (e.g. entering new data, inserting/deleting rows);
• Add custom separators for thousands and decimals;
• Adjust spellchecker settings to ignore words in uppercase or words with numbers.

 

Quickly add tables, shapes, charts, and images to the slide layout, as well as add objects to placeholder.

It’s now possible to instantly reset the slide layout if e.g. your co-author messed up while collaborating on the presentation.

You can change your lists alignment, bullets size/color, choose new types of bullets from the symbol table and quickly manage multilevel lists.

Remove comments in one click using the newly added button in the Collaboration tab which is now also available if the document is shared with the Comment access rights.
