The WOPI server role will be endorsed by Alfresco itself using 2 modules (one for the repo and one for Share). If you want to know more about the WOPi protocol you can check its definition here LibreOffice OnLine is actually a WOPI client and needs to talk to a WOPI server.

Here I’ll detail how to integrate LOOL with your prefered on-premise content management system, thus bringing the collaborative edition feature inside Alfresco! Alfresco integration LOOL itself already provides a solution to having collaborative edition, while keeping your data in compliance with your SSI company policy! And of course, as that’s what’s our main interest here, it provide collaborative edition capabilities. LOOL is a service you can install on-premise in order to provide edition tools for office documents. This is one of the component providing our out-of-the-box transformation service (either through OODirect or jodconverter).Īfter delivering an opensource productivity Suite on the desktop, the Libreoffice team has started working on a similar feature set with a more SaaS approach: LibreOffice OnLine (LOOL).ĭon’t get me wrong here: LOOL is not a SaaS solution you have to subscribe to, and that’s the intersting thing with it. LibreOffice OnLine (LOOL)Īlfresco uses LibreOffice (and formerly OpenOffice) for a very long time.

If you’re concerned about your data being sent to a public cloud and prefer having them securely stored on-premise in Alfresco instead, there may be a solution to help you. However some customer may not want to use Google services for different reasons (e.g, cost or data sensitivity), in which case there are far less options. This module allows for content stored in Alfresco to be collaboratively edited using Google’s online application suite (text editor, spreasheet editor, presentations) and saved back in the repository. Being able to edit a file concurrently by multiple users is a need we’re coming across more and more when dicussing with customers on the field.Īt the time of writing, the out-of-the-box solution to deliver this kind of feature within Alfresco is to use the GoogleDocs module.
