ONLYOFFICE Documents v9.0 for iOS: text recognition with camera, enhanced DocSpace integration, drawing tools, ODG and Markdown support

The latest version of ONLYOFFICE Documents for iOS is now available! Version 9.0 introduces more versatility to your mobile editing experience with powerful new tools, including text recognition via camera, drawing in spreadsheets and slides, extended format support, and improved compatibility with DocSpace. Let’s take a closer look at what’s new.

Text recognition with camera

Need to quickly convert a printed document into an editable file? The new text recognition tool lets you scan a document using your iPhone or iPad camera, extract the text, and create a new file directly in ONLYOFFICE. Perfect for digitizing paper-based materials on the go.

Where to find: Start window -> + icon -> Scan document

Enhanced compatibility with DocSpace

ONLYOFFICE Documents v9.0 brings extended support for ONLYOFFICE DocSpace, allowing for a more flexible and collaborative document workflow when connected to your cloud.

Viewing and managing document versions

When working with files stored in the DocSpace Document module, you can now view all available versions of a document and restore previous versions if needed. This is especially useful when you’re collaborating with others and need to track changes or revert to an earlier version.

Where to find: File tab -> Hold down the document icon -> Show version history (available for DocSpace documents)

Filling out forms by user role in Virtual Data Rooms (VDRs)

In Virtual Data Rooms, forms can now be configured to be filled out by specific user roles. This means that different participants in a room can be assigned fields that are relevant to their responsibilities, simplifying the data collection process and reducing errors.

Where to find: DocSpace VDR room -> Form document -> Open -> Fields by role

Using room templates

Setting up a new collaboration space is faster with room templates. These predefined templates allow administrators to quickly create rooms with specific settings and roles tailored to different scenarios.

Create a new template based on your room.

Where to find: Rooms -> Hold down the room icon -> Save as template

Then, use a template to create new rooms based on it.

Where to find: Rooms -> Templates tab -> Choose template -> Create room

Custom filters support in spreadsheets

ONLYOFFICE Documents v9.0 respects custom filters that have been applied to shared spreadsheets in DocSpace. When a file is opened, each user sees only the content they’re allowed to view or edit — based on the access rights set by the document owner.

Drawing tools in spreadsheets and slides

With version 9.0, the drawing feature is no longer limited to text documents. You can now add annotations and free-hand drawings in spreadsheets and presentations as well. Use your finger or Apple Pencil to highlight data, sketch diagrams, or make notes right on your slides and tables.

Where to find: Spreadsheet or Presentation editor -> + icon -> Drawing

Support for ODG and Markdown formats

ONLYOFFICE Documents now supports opening .odg (OpenDocument Graphics) and .md (Markdown) files. This allows you to view graphic drawings and plain text documents with formatting syntax right from your mobile device, without converting them to another format.

Where to find: Start window -> Open files
