OnlyOffice updates online editor with new features and tools
The software now allows you to collaborate directly within PDF files
Right-to-left languages are now also supported

OnlyOffice has released the latest version of its office softwareintroducing new features and enhancements designed to optimize productivity, streamline user experience and improve document collaboration.

This new update contains around 500 bug fixes and 30 new features, and also introduces co-editing features, allowing multiple users to work on the same PDF document simultaneously.

The update improves file speed, with documents now opening 21% faster while presentations open 17% faster. Additionally, the introduction of zero downtime deployment allows administrators to update OnlyOffice editors without taking the system offline.

Collaboration and PDF signatures for better teamwork

Among the new features, a default “Strict” mode ensures paragraph-level locking, with changes saved only when the “Save” button is pressed. The reverse is also available for teams needing real-time collaboration, with “Quick” mode offering more dynamic editing.

Digital signatures have also been added, but users can only insert an image of their signature into the document. However, the company has promised that in future releases it will expand the signing functionality to be similar to those available in its desktop app.

Additionally, with access to version history, users can now directly restore deleted content, minimizing the risk of accidental data loss. Users can also insert text from local files, URLs, or connected storage, making it easier to compile information into a document.

In response to user feedback, OnlyOffice made the comma-style button accessible directly from the toolbar, making it faster to format numbers with separators.

Users can now highlight key points or make quick annotations during presentations with the new digital pen tool. Although the design is currently limited to a single color, it should soon be available in slideshow mode.

This update release also focuses on accessibility by improving support for right-to-left (RTL) languages. The spreadsheet editor now offers correct cell alignment for RTL text, making it more convenient for users working with languages such as Arabic and Hebrew. Additionally, the updated version improves spell checking in all supported languages and introduces a new search function for easier language selection in the editor.
