Collabora Office
Real LibreOffice document engineering in the browser: Collabora Online is built by the company
employing much of the former SUSE LibreOffice team - not a reimplementation. This deployment
runs CODE (Collabora Online Development Edition), the collabora/code server that renders and
edits documents entirely server-side while browsers get high-fidelity WYSIWYG output, so
layout and formatting survive round-trips that break lesser converters. Four editors ship in
one container: Writer for text documents (comments, track changes with comparison and
restoration, form handling), Calc for spreadsheets (advanced formulas, macros, pivot tables,
per-user sheet views, server-enforced cell protection), Impress for presentations, and Draw
for Visio-class diagrams. Format compatibility spans DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, the ODF family, PDF,
and dozens more - including Visio and Publisher import. Real-time collaborative editing
supports multiple simultaneous editors with visible cursors and commenting. The architectural
point: documents are processed on your server and never leave it, which is why Collabora is
the engine behind Nextcloud Office and integrates with ownCloud, Seafile, and any
WOPI-speaking host - or embeds in your own application via the SDK. An admin console monitors
sessions and memory. For organizations that need Google Docs-style collaboration with actual
data sovereignty, this is the reference open-source answer.
