OnlyOffice is an online office suite integrated with a collaboration platform to manage documents, projects, team and customer relations in one place. 100% compatible with Microsoft Office formats.
For a limited time:
Get Microsoft Office for just $49 – includes all the essentials like Word and Excel, in addition to Outlook, Access, Publisher, and OneNote. That's 70% off the regular price. Available for Windows and macOS.
Can I open and save Microsoft Word documents properly?
Yes, OnlyOffice supports DOC and DOCX formats with excellent compatibility. Users often report that it handles complex Office documents (especially OOXML) more accurately than alternatives like LibreOffice.
How do collaboration features work in the free cloud version?
In the free cloud offering, users can create "rooms" to share documents, invite collaborators, and edit in real time. These rooms feature options for permissions and collaboration without requiring integration with other services.
What's the difference between "Docs," "Community/Groups," "Workspace," and "DocSpace"?
OnlyOffice Docs refers to the core online editors for documents, spreadsheets, and presentations that can be integrated via platforms like Nextcloud or ownCloud. "Community" or "Groups" is a collaboration platform offering modules like CRM, mail, chat – but without document editing. Combine them and you get "Workspace." "DocSpace" is a newer self-hosted or cloud collaboration environment that includes both document editing and file management.
Individual and group rights
Share your documents with an individual or whole team and set different permission levels. Public sharing is also available.
Different co-editing modes
Co-author documents with one of two co-editing modes: (1) Fast: display all changes right after input, or (2) Strict: see co-authors' changes only when they save them.
Tracking changes
Get more control over your documents with Review mode Track your collaborators' changes and reject or accept them when needed.
Version History
Track all changes to your document. Check who made changes and when. Recover previous versions if necessary.
Document comparison
Easily compare two documents to see the differences with revision marks. Accept or reject changes one by one or all at once. Merge the changes and save them as a new version of the original document.
Efficient communication
Tag co-authors and leave comments for them. Communicate in real-time using the built-in chat.
