We rolled out ONLYOFFICE Docs 9.4. If you integrate the document editors into your own platform or manage enterprise deployments, this release brings several usability improvements.
Here is a breakdown of what developers and system administrators need to know about the 9.4 update.
Rethinking form workflows and recipient routing
Building document automation often requires complex logic to route forms to the right people. We overhauled the forms architecture in Docs 9.4 to natively support role-based assignments and recipient routing.
You can now define specific roles, assign recipients, as well as track the form-filling status directly within the document structure. For developers building contract management or onboarding applications, this offloads a significant amount of custom validation logic. You can rely on the editor to handle the UI enforcement, keeping your application code much cleaner.
Advanced WOPI Settings for SharePoint
System administrators will find new configuration options in the Admin Panel. We added specific WOPI settings designed to improve SharePoint compatibility. You can now easily synchronize with the required WOPI Zone and choose to optionally include the Authorization header directly from the dashboard.
API and Doc Builder Enhancements
Developers can tap into new possibilities with our expanded API. We introduced new methods specifically for working with forms, custom plugins, and detailed paragraph settings. Furthermore, we added new Doc Builder classes and methods tailored for handling formatted tables.
