Collaborative editing is the main thing that puts it above Libre in a professional setting.

I use Libre at home, but at work MS Office wins ๐Ÿ˜•

Online LibreOffice exists and is called Collabora: https://www.collaboraonline.com/

Works great, for example in Nextcloud.

Ok but that isn't really word in the libre office sense. That's more Microsoft 365, which is fair I guess because I don't even know if you can buy the actual software anymore.

Are you able to do the collaborative editing in the local software or is it just the browser based Google docs equivalent?

[โ€“] Bassman1805@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Yes, I can collaboratively edit within the desktop MS Word app. The online version is objectively worse for that, ironically.
