This brings powerful viewing and editing capabilities for spreadsheets, presentations and text documents to the ownCloud web interface.<\/p>\n<p>As a development preview, it is still work in progress but we welcome you to get it running, provide feedback and get involved. Read on to learn more!<\/p>\n<h2>LibreOffice Online and ownCloud<\/h2>\n<p>LibreOffice Online is what the name suggests &#8211; an online version of the well known LibreOffice suite of productivity apps: word processor Writer, spreadsheet Calc and presentation tool Impress.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCollabora and LibreOffice Online\u201d integrated in ownCloud Server brings these powerful productivity features to ownCloud users. They can work on their documents on the go from the browser or share a spreadsheet through a public link and have recipients edit directly in their browser.<\/p>\n<p>No other cloud technology offers the quality of rendering LibreOffice brings to the browser and this development edition already offers a wide range of features, with more to come.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Features<\/h3>\n<p>The current online version of LibreOffice has a simplified user interface available through the ownCloud integration app. This is not inherent to the technology, work on expansion is ongoing and the team certainly welcomes any help in adding functionality. Already many more capabilities are available behind shortcuts.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9384\" style=\"width: 664px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/owncloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/shortcuts.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9384\" class=\"wp-image-9384 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/owncloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/shortcuts.png\" alt=\"More behind shortcuts\" width=\"654\" height=\"555\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-9384\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">More behind shortcuts<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The rendering used is identical to the desktop version, which means documents will look exactly the same in the web and offline version. Images, tables, graphs, word-art, styles and anything else embedded in the document will be there and will look exactly as it should.<\/p>\n<p>This is unique to LibreOffice as other web based office suits have created new rendering engines which typically introduces subtle differences and missing features compared to their desktop counterparts and the standards they implement.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jPGBRu085Dw?rel=0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.collaboraoffice.com\/code\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Collabora Online Development Edition and grab your copy here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Getting it<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cCollabora and LibreOffice Online\u201d requires LibreOffice Online to be installed on the server, so a fully functioning document viewer won&#8217;t be easily installable from the ownCloud app store.<\/p>\n<p>For testing, Collabora has made available a Development Edition including ownCloud Server with LibreOffice Online integration <a href=\"https:\/\/www.collaboraoffice.com\/code\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">on their website<\/a>.
