The Office Connector allows you to edit Office files embedded in a wiki page or from the page's attachments view.

To make use of these editing capabilities, you will need the setup described below.

Browsers
  • The WebDAV plugin required to edit Office documents can't be used with Firefox 57 (Quantum) or later, as Firefox has ended support for the technology it relies on. Earlier versions of Firefox should still work with the Firefox Add-On for the Office Connector.
  • Note: No Chrome support. Chrome does not support WEBDAV clients, so this feature will not work. Please refer to this issue for more information: CONF-23322.
Office editors

To edit Office files, you will need to have Microsoft Office or OpenOffice installed. (See the configuration matrix below.)

  • If you are using Firefox, you can choose which of the above editors you want to use. The Firefox add-on allows you to configure this option for each file type. See Installing the Firefox Add-On for the Office Connector.
  • If you are using Internet Explorer, you will need Microsoft Office. You cannot edit Office files in OpenOffice when using Internet Explorer.
Configuration matrix

You need one of the following software combinations to edit Office files from your wiki page:
