Hey everyone,

We know software licensing and trademark rules can get pretty confusing, especially if you're deploying the community edition, forking our code for a custom project or integrating ONLYOFFICE into another platform.

To help clear things up, we have prepared a straightforward guide explaining how our licensing works and how to handle branding without stepping on any legal toes.

If you're a tech enthusiast, developer or partner, here is what to keep in mind:

• We use dual licensing: We offer both open-source (AGPLv3) and commercial options depending on your project needs and whether you are offering it as a commercial service.
• AGPLv3 has specific rules: If you use the open-source version, you need to stick to the copyleft requirements, retain all legal notices and clearly label any modifications.
• Code permissions ≠ Trademark permissions: Just because you can modify the code under AGPLv3 doesn't mean you automatically have the right to use the ONLYOFFICE name, logos or brand identity.
• Forks need their own branding: If you modify the software, you have to give it a distinct name and look. You can't call your modified version "ONLYOFFICE" or use our logos.
• Attribution matters: Whenever you make permitted references to our brand (like stating your project is "based on" or "compatible with" ONLYOFFICE), you just need to include a proper trademark attribution notice.

The goal here is simply to make it as easy as possible for everyone to use and share the software while protecting the integrity of the brand.

Hey everyone! Just wanted to share a quick update on how we handle user feedback. We have officially moved our feature requests and discussions from UserVoice over to our Discourse-based community platform.

Having feedback scattered across different channels can make it difficult to track what people actually want. Now, everything is centralized. This new setup makes the whole process more transparent and interactive.

In the new community space, you can do a few different things:

• Share new feature requests;
• Suggest improvements to current tools;
• Discuss your daily workflows with other users;
• Vote on the ideas you want us to prioritize.

To keep things organized, we set up dedicated categories for pretty much everything we build. You can drop feedback for the Document, Spreadsheet and Presentation editors, as well as the PDF Editor, DocSpace, Mobile Apps, Desktop Editors, Integrations, Macros and our AI features.

If there is a missing feature you need or a tweak that would make your work easier, head over to the community and let us know. Even if you do not have a new idea right now, take a look at what others are suggesting and throw an upvote on the features you need most.

If you are tired of guessing why your formulas are failing, our team has prepared a guide breaking down the 7 most common spreadsheet errors and how to actually fix them.

Here is a quick look at what the guide covers:

• What triggers the classic errors: #NULL!, #VALUE!, #NAME!, #NUM!, #DIV/0!, #N/A and #REF!
• Practical ways to clean up messy imported data (which is usually the hidden culprit behind #VALUE!)
• How to use functions like TRIM(), VALUE(), IFERROR() and IFNA() to handle edge cases before they break your sheet

It is a great refresher whether you are just putting together a basic budget or building complex dashboards. Instead of undoing everything and starting over, this guide helps you read the errors as clues so you can fix them in seconds.

You can check out the full guide on our blog.

During the shift to home-based learning several years, many families faced challenges managing education. ARK ACADEMY turned to ONLYOFFICE DocSpace to deliver structured lessons and support, helping both parents and teachers stay organized and connected.

ARK ACADEMY needed a cost-effective way to create, edit and collaborate on documents without added complexity. They wanted a solid alternative to Microsoft 365 that was easy for everyone to use.

ARK ACADEMY chose DocSpace after comparing it with LibreOffice because it offers an easy-to-use interface, strong compatibility with Office formats and a single location for organizing and collaborating on lesson materials:

• Easy to use for parents, students and teachers
• Full compatibility with existing Office files
• All lesson materials organized and accessible in one place

With DocSpace, ARK ACADEMY made lesson sharing and document collaboration much easier for everyone involved.
