<h2>Plugin marketplace</h2>
Plugin installation has never been so easy and straightforward. With the brand-new Plugin Manager you can explore all available plugins and install or remove any plugin with just one click.
Where to find: Plugins tab -&gt; Plugin Manager

<h2>Live viewer</h2>
When you open a document in the view only mode, you can see the changes made by other users collaborating in real time.
Where to find: This option is enabled by default. To disable this setting: Document opened in the Read Only mode -&gt; Advanced Settings -&gt; Collaboration -&gt; Show changes from other users.
Please note: This option is available only for server users who have a new license with the connections_view field.

<h2>Enhanced work with fonts</h2>
Thanks to the implementation of the <a href="https://harfbuzz.github.io/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HarfBuzz</a> text shaping library, ONLYOFFICE font engine now supports lots of new scripts. The N&#8217;Ko writing system which belongs to RTL is only one of the examples.
This update also brings the support of ligatures. That allows merging multiple symbols into one and hence the support of new languages, for example, Bengali and Sinhala, as well as makes for a more harmonious reading experience.
You can configure ligatures and choose between standard, contextual, discretionary, and historical types, or select the combo options.

<h2>New form fields and parameters</h2>
Use new fields to create forms more easily and quickly: email address, phone number, and complex field which allows you to compose any custom fields you need.
In text fields, you now can allow usage of any specific symbols and set the needed format: None, Digits, Letters, Arbitrary Mask (for phone numbers), and Regular Expression (for example, for emails).
Besides, the newly added Tag setting allows users who work with fields in the automatic mode to simplify form creation.
