ONLYOFFICE Docs V6.0

ONLYOFFICE is a collaborative office suite for working with text documents, spreadsheets and presentations in UCS. It is combined with Nextcloud, ownCloud, or Seafile and installed from Univention App Center casually (Docker-based) or as a pre-configured virtual appliance. You can also integrate it in UCS LDAP to manage all users.
In this article I’d like to tell you about the latest major update that brings a new name for ONLYOFFICE online editors as well as long-awaited features for spreadsheets.

New name: ONLYOFFICE Docs

From now on, the suite is called ONLYOFFICE Docs and has three editions. Two of them are presented in the Univention App Center:

1. ONLYOFFICE Docs Community Edition – an absolutely free version intended for up to 20 simultaneous connections* and recommended for teams of up to 20 users.
2. ONLYOFFICE Docs Enterprise Edition (previously ONLYOFFICE Integration Edition) – a commercial build of the editors designed for enterprise-scale teams that seek online editing with no connection limits, aspire to make use of the advanced features and need professional technical support. Read more about how ONLYOFFICE Docs Enterprise Edition can benefit your business in this article.

*A number of browser tabs with documents which can be opened for editing at the same time. Note that one document opened by two users means two simultaneous connections as it is opened in two tabs. When you reach the limit, each following document opens in read-only mode.

Along with the new branding, ONLYOFFICE Docs were upgraded to the version 6.0 which brought multiple new features for spreadsheets and productivity enhancements in all the editors. Let’s take a deeper look at the most significant updates.

Pivot tables

First of all, we added pivot tables that help you analyze data and find patterns summarizing and reorganizing it. After you create a pivot table, you can add and move data, add filters, and more. We are also planning to add pivot charts in future releases.

Slicers for formatted tables

Starting from version 6.0, you can apply slicers to formatted tables. This functionality brings quick filtering and helps you indicate the filtering state to understand what data is currently displayed.
