Office documents
Create and edit Word documents, spreadsheets and presentations right in the browser
With the Office module you create and edit Word documents (.docx), spreadsheets (.xlsx) and presentations (.pptx) right inside SimpliServ – no local Office install needed.
How it works
- Open Office in the sidebar.
- Click one of the tiles (Word document, Spreadsheet, Presentation) – the file is created immediately and appears at the top of the list. Type the name you want and confirm with Enter.
- Click the row to open the editor.
All changes are saved automatically – also when you save from the editor toolbar or with Ctrl+S / Cmd+S.
In the file list you can search documents, filter by type, sort, and open, rename, download or delete via the row menu.
Permissions
| Permission | Allows |
|---|---|
office.view | Open Office, view files (editor read-only) |
office.create | Create new documents |
office.update | Edit and rename documents |

You assign the permissions as usual via role management.
Technology & licence
In-browser editing is based on ONLYOFFICE Docs (Community Edition). ONLYOFFICE Docs is free software under the GNU AGPL v3; the source code is available on GitHub. The Document Server runs unchanged as a standalone service alongside SimpliServ.
