To an OwnCloud system was also added the possibility of editing documents (text files, tables, presentations) directly in the web interface. The installed cloud OnlyOffice suite can open and edit all common office document formats (.txt, .doc(x), .xls(x), .ppt(x)) and is compatible with standard Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint). If a file is shared (directly or through its superordinate folder), it can be edited by multiple users at once.

Create a new document

To create a new document (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx) on web in OwnCloud interface, click on [+] in the upper toolbar and select one of the drop-down menu options (Text file for .txt, Document pro .docx i.e. "Word", Spreadsheet for .xlsx i.e. "Excel" and Presentation pro .pptx i.e. "PowerPoint").

Type the name of the new file in the open box (e.g. test) and press ENTER to create the document test.docx and enter directly into the word processor edit window. Here you can work with the document in the same way as in Word.

Every change is saved immediately (the editor does not contain standard Save / Save As ... buttons). From the Edit mode, you can access the OwnCloud file list by clicking the folder icon with arrow in the upper-right corner of the OnlyOffice toolbar.

Editing an existing document

To edit an existing document on web in OwnCloud interface, click on [...] right to the file name and choose Open in ONLYOFFICE - In the example picture, we open an existing file test.docx.
