New in Nextcloud: extra sharing permissions, Dark Theme, and Catalan translation

Advanced sharing permissions

Now Nextcloud connector for ONLYOFFICE Docs supports advanced types of access rights, in addition to default Full/Read Only access:

  • Comment, to allow commenting and mentioning users in comments if a user has View Only access. This type of permission is available for documents and spreadsheets.
  • Review, to allow suggesting changes using Track Changes in the document without actually altering the contents for users with View Only access. This type of permission is available for text documents only.
  • Custom filter. If a user is shared a spreadsheet with full access, it is possible to disable filtering of the author’s version of the spreadsheet and allow only custom filtering in personal mode.

To enable the use of advanced permissions in Nextcloud as an admin:

  1. Go to ONLYOFFICE settings.
  2. Tick “Provide advanced document permissions using ONLYOFFICE Docs”.

Once the option is enabled, you can find the extra permissions in the Advanced tab of the document panel.
