Document collaboration can get messy fast...
Scattered feedback, mystery edits, and shares that give too much access to too many people.
Collabora Online keeps it clean. Follow who's editing in real time, leave comments and @mentions right where they matter, make and review changes without losing the original, and share with different access levels within your file sharing platform.
Give collaboration a try in the free demo.

Latency has a reputation problem.
When document processing happens on a server, it’s easy to assume every keystroke is taking a long trip across the internet.
From Rajkot, India, to a Europe-based server and back, we measured a median round trip of 29.6ms.
Our EXPLAINED blog looks at what latency really means for document editing.
Swipe for the numbers, and read the full story.

📱 Ever opened a document on your phone… and something just looked off?
Mobile editing shouldn’t mean wondering whether your document still looks the way it should.
Collabora Office for Mobile uses the same core rendering engine as we do on desktop and browser, helping to keep layouts, tables, charts and formatting consistent across all your devices.
👉️ See why consistent rendering matters when you’re working on the go.
