Product enhancements

With no doubts, we appreciate your trust a lot and always do our best to further improve ONLYOFFICE by adding new useful features, integrations, etc.

ONLYOFFICE Docs

In March 2022, we celebrated a 10-year anniversary of the first launch of our editors. 10 years passed … Can you believe it?

The hottest enhancement of the last year are the brand-new ONLYOFFICE forms. They are also known as OFORMs and allow you to automate your paperwork routine making it easier to create and fill out model documents, whether it be a legal agreement or business report.

Since our last birthday we also released three big updates for both online and desktop editors:

• ONLYOFFICE Docs v6.4 with conditional formatting and new scaling options / desktop app v6.4 with improved ARM support.
• ONLYOFFICE Docs v7.0 with online forms and password protection in spreadsheets / Desktop Editors v7.0 with new launch mode, integration with kDrive and Liferay.
• ONLYOFFICE Docs v7.1 with ARM compatibility, upgraded PDF viewer, print preview / Desktop Editors v7.1 with accelerated performance and full language support for macOS.

Besides, we added WOPI support and updated our API to make the process of integrating ONLYOFFICE Docs into various solutions and services easier for other developers.

Mobile apps

ONLYOFFICE mobile apps for working with docs on the go – ONLYOFFICE Documents – also got several updates:

• v5.2 for Android with Single Sign-On, kDrive integration, and spell-checking.
• v6.6 for iOS with connection to OneDrive and kDrive and password recovery.
• v5.3 for Android and v7.0 for iOS with form filling.

Moreover, we released a new ONLYOFFICE Projects app for Android that allows managing your tasks and tracking current workload on the go.

Collaboration platform

The new version of our collaboration platform – ONLYOFFICE Workspace 12.0 – comes with new sharing settings, IMAP, WebDAV server, CardDAV address books, and more.

Besides, we considerably upgraded ONLYOFFICE Personal to make your work with documents in the personal office even faster and more comfortable.

More distribution formats and markets

Our goal is to make ONLYOFFICE available for every user, so we are always extending the number of distribution formats and packages.

You can get ONLYOFFICE Docs from Vultr and Alibaba Cloud Marketplaces, and deploy the editors into Kubernetes or OpenShift cluster using Helm.

ONLYOFFICE desktop app is verified in the official application store of Cutefish and can be deployed remotely on multiple machines from the Ansible Galaxy.

Moreover, MinisForum and Manjaro officially launched Mini PC UM350 where ONLYOFFICE desktop app is the default office suite of the pre-installed system.

Integrations

A lot has been done in the integrations development – both internal and external ones.

Thus, we added new plugins: Jitsi and Rainbow for making audio and video calls right in the editors, Draw.io for creating, editing, and inserting various types of diagrams into your document, Doc2md for quickly converting text document to Markdown.
