About the ONLYOFFICE and Moodle integration
ONLYOFFICE offers an official connector to integrate ONLYOFFICE Docs with Moodle and edit office documents attached to the course pages. You can download the ONLYOFFICE connector from the Moodle plugin library or the GitHub page.
Main features
- Editing and viewing text documents, spreadsheets, and presentations.
- Co-editing documents in real-time: two co-editing modes (Fast and Strict), the Track Changes mode, comments, and the built-in chat.
- JWT support to secure your traffic so that no one can have access to your documents with the exception of the users with proper rights.
