  • Customize the interface — white labeling and branding options → Installation and configuration
  • Secure your installation — review the security guide → ONLYOFFICE Docs: Security checklist
  • Check supported formats — see the full list of open and proprietary formats supported by the Document Editor, Spreadsheet Editor, Presentation Editor, and PDF Editor
