OnlyOffice

With the OnlyOffice editor, documents can be created directly in OLAT and edited online by individual users or collaboratively by several users. File formats for word processing (.docx), spreadsheets (.xlsx) and presentations (.pptx) are supported. The documents are opened in a separate OnlyOffice window/tab for editing.

OnlyOffice can be used to create and edit documents in the following course elements:

• Document
• Folder
• Task
• Group task
• Participant folder

Supported document types

With OnlyOffice, the following file formats can be created and collaboratively edited in the online editor

• Word (.docx)
• Excel (.xlsx)
• PowerPoint (.pptx)

Files in these formats that are already saved in OLAT or are newly uploaded by a user can also be edited online with the OnlyOffice editor.

Special notes

Note:

• When the window or tab with the OnlyOffice editor is closed, it takes up to 10 seconds for the changes to be displayed in OLAT.
• When collaboratively editing a document, the changes are only updated in OLAT when all collaborative editors have closed their window or tab with the OnlyOffice editor.
• The number of simultaneous users is limited to 300.
