OnlyOffice (formerly TeamLab), stylized as ONLYOFFICE, is a free/libre and open source productivity software and ecosystem of collaborative applications.[4][5] It consists of online editors for text documents, spreadsheets, presentations, forms and PDFs, and the room-based collaborative platform.

OnlyOffice is delivered either as SaaS or as an installation for deployment on a private network. Its cloud solutions cater to businesses, educational institutions, and government agencies, offering advanced collaboration features. Created for online document collaboration, OnlyOffice also offers desktop editors for offline work.

History

In 2009, a group of software developers from Ascensio System SIA (Latvian-based) and New Communication Technologies (Russian-based) launched a project called TeamLab, a platform for internal team collaboration.[6]

In March 2012, TeamLab introduced the first HTML5-based online document editors at CeBIT.[7]

In July 2014, TeamLab Office was officially rebranded to OnlyOffice and the source code of the product was published on SourceForge and GitHub on terms of AGPL-3.0.[8][9]

In March 2016, the developers released a desktop application – OnlyOffice Desktop Editors, which is positioned as an open-source alternative to Microsoft Office.[10]

In February 2017, the first integration app for ownCloud/Nextcloud was launched.[11]

In January 2022, the project introduced OnlyOffice Forms.[12]

In May 2022, a new office branch of Ascensio was opened in Tashkent, Uzbekistan as a development hub.[13]

In April 2023, OnlyOffice released new solution – OnlyOffice DocSpace.[14]

In August 2023, OnlyOffice opened a holding company in Singapore and incorporated all the existing branches (those in Latvia, US, UK, Armenia, Uzbekistan, Serbia) under the one brand. Ascensio System SIA was to become 100% owned by the British-based Ascensio System Ltd, which in its turn was to become 100% owned by OnlyOffice Capital Group Pte. Ltd. The beneficiaries of OnlyOffice Capital Group Pte. Ltd. are listed in the registry of Singapore companies by ACRA.[15]

In February 2023, OnlyOffice released the first version of the ChatGPT plugin[16] with a basic set of features, such as text generation based on a user's prompt, question answering, translation, text summarization and conversation-style communication.[17]

In October 2023, OnlyOffice released the native PDF Editor.[18]

In January 2024, version 1.1.4 of the plugin was released which provided new tools for document editing and access to GPT-4.[19]

In February 2024, OnlyOffice introduced support for Right-to-Left (RTL) text.[20]

In August 2024, OnlyOffice registered an official department in Shanghai, China.[21]

In November 2024, OnlyOffice launches Virtual Data Rooms for advanced file security and transparency with automated indexing and content tracking.[22]

In June 2025, OnlyOffice launches Diagramm Viewer for visualizing Visio files – diagrams and workflows.[23]

Organization

Based in Latvia, OnlyOffice owner Ascensio System SIA was a subsidiary of Russian-based New Communication Technologies.[24] Due to EU economic sanctions targeting Russia, European organizations that used the commercial version of OnlyOffice were prohibited from doing so.[25]
