Good news for ownCloud users!
The latest version of the ONLYOFFICE integration app for ownCloud is already available. It comes with new file formats and interface themes, supports external links for reference data and brings some other useful improvements. Read this article to learn more about version 9.9.1.
Use external links for reference data
Starting from version 9.9.1, you can create external links to a cell or a range of cells in another spreadsheet which is not stored in your ownCloud instance. Using the IMPORTRANGE formula, you can easily import data to your spreadsheets from third-party sources. The syntax of this formula is quite simple:
=IMPORTRANGE(“spreadsheet_url”, “range_string”)
To import a cell or a range of cells from a specified spreadsheet, you just need to add the given formula, and specify the source spreadsheet’s URL and the desired range of cells, all enclosed in quotation marks.
Read this guide to master the use of the IMPORTRANGE formula in ONLYOFFICE sheets.
Where to find: Access the Formula tab on the top toolbar -> Find Text & Data -> Choose IMPORTRANGE. Alternatively, click Function and enter IMPORTRANGE in the search bar.
Enjoy an extended list of supported file formats
Another great improvement in the updated integration app is the ability to work with the following file formats:
- Apple iWork formats: Pages, Keynote, Numbers
- Hancom Office formats: .hwp, .hwpx
Please note that you can open these file formats for viewing only. To do so, click the three dots icon of the required file and choose the Open in ONLYOFFICE option from the context menu. The file will open in the corresponding ONLYOFFICE editor.
If you want to edit your file, you need to convert it to OOXML (DOCX, PPTX or XLSX)* first via the Convert with ONLYOFFICE option in the context menu. An OOXML copy will be created in your ownCloud storage, and you will be able to open it for editing.
*Full formatting compliance is not guaranteed after conversion
Switch between the new interface themes
To make the editing experience more pleasant and comfortable for your eyes, the latest version of the ONLYOFFICE integration app for ownCloud introduces new interface themes that you can activate via the Interface Theme option located on the View tab:
- Same as system
- Contrast Dark
- Grey
Close any editor with a dedicated button
If you prefer opening office files on the same tab, the updated integration app allows you to easily close them due to a new button. The Close button is located in the upper right corner next to your user avatar. If you click it, the ONLYOFFICE editor will close, and you will get back to your ownCloud storage.
Other updates
Additionally, version 9.9.1 comes equipped with the following improvements:
- JWT expiration configuration
- Shardkey parameter in requests to the editors
