What to configure next
There is no required order. Pick what is relevant to your setup:
- Set up collaboration: configure co-editing modes (Fast for real-time changes, Strict for save-on-demand), sharing permissions, and real-time communication. See Collaboration.
- Connect an AI assistant: set up a local model (LocalAI, LM Studio, Ollama) or an online provider (Anthropic, DeepSeek, Google Gemini, GroqAI, Mistral AI, and others) to get writing assistance directly inside the editors. See Artificial intelligence.
- Add plugins: extend editor functionality with ready-made or custom plugins, installable through the Plugin Manager without restarting the editors. See Plugin Manager.
- Customize the interface: set up white labeling and branding. See Installation and configuration.
- Secure your installation: review the security guide. See 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.
- Accessibility: learn about screen reader support, hotkeys, color modes, and other accessibility features. See Accessibility features.
What's new in version 10.0
- AI: the AI assistant now works with the document's context and can perform any action available in the editor. Create Quick Actions, your own one-click commands for the selected text.
- All editors: add a data table to charts, convert SVG images to shapes and download the file from the top toolbar.
- Document Editor: follow another user's cursor while co-editing and keep a table row from breaking across pages.
- Spreadsheet Editor: save to
XLS, turn AutoComplete for cell values on or off and unhide edge rows and columns from the context menu. - Presentation Editor: switch to Outline View, Reading View, Handout Master and Notes Master, print notes, handouts and outlines, and export the presentation as an animation or video.
- PDF Editor: create and fill out forms by roles, remove annotations and metadata with Redact, set up annotations in their own settings panel and edit tables in the Edit Text mode.
- Forms: save your signature and reuse it in other signature fields.
