Integrating ONLYOFFICE with SharePoint collaborative platform through a connector, available on ONLYOFFICE GitHub page, allows you to edit Office documents within the document library.

ONLYOFFICE app adds the following features:

• Will create a new Edit in ONLYOFFICE menu option within the context menu of the file and the ribbon for Office documents. This allows multiple users to collaborate in real time and to save back those changes to SharePoint.
• Co-editing documents in real-time: use two co-editing modes (Fast and Strict), Track Changes, comments, and built-in chat.
• Editing the following formats: DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, PPSX. These are also available for viewing in PDF together with DJVU, TXT, CSV, ODT, ODS, ODP, DOC, XLS, PPT, PPS, EPUB, RTF, HTML, HTM, MHT, XPS formats.

The conenctor is tested and works with SharePoint 2010, 2013 and 2016.

1. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Services, and make sure that SharePoint Administration service is started.
2. Click Start, click SharePoint Management Shell, go to the directory with the .wsp file.
3. Run the Install.ps1 script:

   PS> .\Install.ps1

4. Enter your SharePoint site address:

   https://<yoursharepointsite>

   Alternatively to steps 3 and 4 you can type the following command:

   Add-SPSolution -LiteralPath<solutionpath>/onlyoffice.wsp

   On the SharePoint Central Administration home page, click System Settings > Farm Management > Manage farm solutions. On the Solution Management page, click onlyoffice.wsp, then click Deploy Solution.

5. On the SharePoint Central Administration home page, under Application Management, click Manage web applications.
6. Make sure you select your site and click the Authentication Providers icon.

In SharePoint open the /_layouts/15/Onlyoffice/Settings.aspx page with administrative settings. Enter the following address to connect ONLYOFFICE Docs:

https://<documentserver>/

Where the documentserver is the name of the server with the ONLYOFFICE Docs installed. The address must be accessible for the user browser and from the SharePoint server. The SharePoint server address must also be accessible from ONLYOFFICE Docs for correct work.

You will need an instance of ONLYOFFICE Docs that is resolvable and connectable both from SharePoint and any end clients. If that is not the case, use the official ONLYOFFICE Docs documentation page: ONLYOFFICE Docs for Linux. ONLYOFFICE Docs must also be able to POST to SharePoint directly.

The easiest way to start an instance of ONLYOFFICE Docs is to use Docker Compose.

Before you use ONLYOFFICE Docs with ONLYOFFICE SharePoint solution, you need to install it. If you for some reason plan to edit the ONLYOFFICE SharePoint solution source code, you will need to compile it and install it afterwards. If you do not want to do that and plan to use the already compiled solution package, please skip to the Installation section directly. The latest compiled package files are available here.

If you have SharePoint with version later than 2010, you will not need to change anything, you can compile the project. In case you have SharePoint 2010 and want to build the project for this version, you will need to open the ONLYOFFICE.csproj file and find the lines

<Project ToolsVersion="15.0" DefaultTargets="Build" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFrameworkVersion>v4.5.2</TargetFrameworkVersion>
    <TargetOfficeVersion>15.0</TargetOfficeVersion>

Replace these lines with the following ones:

<Project ToolsVersion="14.0" DefaultTargets="Build" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFrameworkVersion>v3.5</TargetFrameworkVersion>
    <TargetOfficeVersion>14.0</TargetOfficeVersion>

And go to the steps below after that.
