The app allows to:
- Edit text documents, spreadsheets, and presentations.

You will need an instance of ONLYOFFICE Docs (Document Server) that is resolvable and connectable both from SuiteCRM and any end clients. ONLYOFFICE Document Server must also be able to POST to SuiteCRM directly.
You can install free Community version of ONLYOFFICE Docs or scalable Enterprise Edition.
To install free Community version, use Docker (recommended) or follow these instructions for Debian, Ubuntu, or derivatives.
To install Enterprise Edition, follow the instructions here.
