  1. Open the Files module in your account.
  2. Browse to the folder that contains the document.
  3. Click the document name.
  4. The document will open in the OfficeDocs editor in a new tab.

Opening from Recent Files

Recently opened documents can be accessed from your recent files list.

  1. Open the Files module.
  2. Locate the Recent Files section or filter.
  3. Click the document you want to open.

Opening from Desktop Editors

You can also open documents using the OnlyOffice Desktop Editors.

  1. Open OnlyOffice Desktop Editors.
  2. Connect the application to your account, if it is not already connected.

Supported File Types

OfficeDocs supports a variety of file formats, including:

  • .docx: Microsoft Word documents
  • .xlsx: Microsoft Excel spreadsheets
  • .pptx: Microsoft PowerPoint presentations
  • .pdf: PDF documents
  • .docxf: OnlyOffice form documents

Troubleshooting

Document does not open

  • Make sure you have permission to access the file.
  • Confirm that the file format is supported.
  • Refresh the page and try opening the document again.

Document opens in read-only mode

  • Your account may have view-only access.
  • The file may have been shared with limited permissions.
  • Another user may currently have the document locked for editing.

If you want, I can also turn this into a more polished Emailarray Wiki style version with:

  • a better intro,
  • fewer sections,
  • and a cleaner “client-friendly” flow.
