Editing documents collaboratively

Excel, PowerPoint and Word files can be edited collaboratively online. To do so, simply click on the file in the Drive interface.

Please refer to the OnlyOffice user documentation for information on how to use these editors.

Known limitations of OnlyOffice

OnlyOffice is compatible with most features of Microsoft Office. The most hindering limitations are listed below.

• Excel
  • Excel spreadsheets do not have the pull-down list (validation) option. If this feature is important for your work, we recommend either validating the document offline or editing it offline. 
• Word
  • Users working simultaneously on large Word documents can see the page content move as content is being added/removed in pages preceding the page being viewed. Several simple workarounds are possible:
    • cut large files into smaller files for the main editing phase of the work
    • strategically intersperse page breaks throughout the document
