Carbonio Docs is built on a significantly modified LibreOffice online package that enhances Carbonio CE’s capacity to allow all members of the organisation to collaborate in editing various sorts of documents, such as text documents, word processors, spreadsheets, and presentations.

Carbonio Docs integrates seamlessly with objects stored in Carbonio Files and email attachments, which are handled by a specialised Carbonio Docs component.

When one wishes to edit a document, a connection to a Carbonio Docs server instance is established, and a copy of the file is fetched and shown in the user’s browser. When modifications are made, only changes to the client are transmitted back, ensuring the correctness and fidelity of the document between client and server while reducing bandwidth usage to a minimum.

Every document may be shown in either read-only mode, with a basic GUI limited to viewing capabilities, or edit (read/write) mode, with a complete GUI.
