This plugin enables users to edit office documents from Confluence using ONLYOFFICE Docs packaged as Document Server - Community or Enterprise Edition.

The plugin allows to:

• Create and edit text documents, spreadsheets, and presentations.
• Share documents with other users.
• Co-edit documents in real-time: use two co-editing modes (Fast and Strict), Track Changes, comments, and built-in chat.

Supported formats:

• For viewing and editing: DOCX, XLSX, PPTX.
• For conversion to Office Open XML: ODT, DOC, ODP, PPT, ODS, XLS.

You will need an instance of ONLYOFFICE Docs (Document Server) that is resolvable and connectable both from Confluence and any end clients (version 3.0 and later are supported for use with the plugin). ONLYOFFICE Document Server must also be able to POST to Confluence directly.

You can install free Community version of ONLYOFFICE Docs or scalable Enterprise Edition with pro features.

To install free Community version, use Docker (recommended) or follow these instructions for Debian, Ubuntu, or derivatives.

To install Enterprise Edition, follow instructions here.

The ONLYOFFICE integration follows the API documented here https://api.onlyoffice.com/editors/basic:

• User navigates to a Confluence attachments and selects the Edit in ONLYOFFICE action.
• Confluence makes a request to OnlyOfficeEditorServlet (URL of the form: /plugins/servlet/onlyoffice/doceditor?attachmentId=$attachment.id).
• Confluence sends document to ONLYOFFICE Document storage service and receive a temporary link.
• Confluence prepares a JSON object with the following properties:
  • url: the temporary link that ONLYOFFICE Document Server uses to download the document,
  • callbackUrl: the URL that ONLYOFFICE Document Server informs about status of the document editing,
  • docserviceApiUrl: the URL that the client needs to reply to ONLYOFFICE Document Server (provided by the files.docservice.url.api property),
  • key: the UUID to instruct ONLYOFFICE Document Server whether to download the document again or not,
  • title: the document Title (name).
• Confluence takes this object and constructs a page from a freemarker template, filling in all of those values so that the client browser can load up the editor.
• The client browser makes a request for the javascript library from ONLYOFFICE Document Server and sends ONLYOFFICE Document Server the docEditor configuration with the above properties.
• Then ONLYOFFICE Document Server downloads the document from Document storage and the user begins editing.
• When all users and client browsers are done with editing, they close the editing window.
• After 10 seconds of inactivity, ONLYOFFICE Document Server sends a POST to the callback URL letting Confluence know that the clients have finished editing the document and closed it.
• Confluence downloads the new version of the document, replacing the old one.

ONLYOFFICE offers different versions of its online document editors that can be deployed on your own servers.
