The Office Connector is bundled with Confluence 2.10 and later. It allows you to:

  • Import an Office document into Confluence format
  • Attach an Office document to a Confluence page and display its content in Confluence, without converting the content.
  • Edit the attached document in the Office application, directly from the Confluence page.

Please be aware that source code is currently not available for the Confluence Office Connector.

    Can you explain this: How come the Office Connector is Open Source (BSD) and yet the source code is not available?

      The BSD license pretty much doesn't require anything at all of downstream developers, it only gives them permission to use the code. There's no guarantee that a BSD-licensed project is open to anybody in particular only that the people to whom it is open are allowed to use the code for any/every purpose for which they might want it.

    Is Office Connector compatible with Conf 3.5? Your own plugin database and an upgrade check on my instance say it is not. This is a little misleading.

      Yes, it is compatible and shipped with Confluence 3.5. Thanks for letting us know – we slipped up by not updating the Office Connector compatibility details and we'll get it fixed shortly.

      The fact that it is included in the compatibility test is a bit misleading as well, since we always ship the latest tested version in Confluence. I'll see if we can do something about that.

        Just another small question.

        Is it fair to assume that the plugins that you originally ship with Confluence are automatically compatible with the latest versions? I see the same issue with the Attachments plugin.

        Curious.

          Yes, that's a good assumption. Everything we ship with Confluence is compatible with the current version. You only need to worry about compatibility problems with plugins that you have installed yourself.

          The mistaken information with the attachments plugin is actually a distinct issue: UPM-1109. Version 2.20.0 is marked as compatible, but the version in Confluence is 2.20. Apologies for the confusion. We hope to get this rectified very soon.

    Hello,

    to my knowledge there is not LibreOffice-Support (.odt etc.).I'd very much appreciate any hints to make that work or a separate plugin for OO/LibreO.

    Thanks,
