Document Management

There are features such as the online preview of the attachment and Diff in ZenTao Biz.

We have integrated Collabora Office since ZenTao Biz 2.0. Users are able to preview and edit the Doc online with Collabora Office configured.

1. The Online Preview Feature of LibreOffice

It requires LibreOffice to be installed on the host where ZenTao is located to experience the online preview feature.

Note: DO NOT install LibreOffice in a directory with spaces and Chinese characters.

Click here to download LibreOffice.

After installing LibreOffice, enable the function by ticking the box "On" in "More"-"Admin"-"System"-"Office" and then fill in the converter path for LibreOffice.

The path filled in above is about the Windows system. As for the Linux system, fill in the path like this: /usr/bin/libreoffice6.4 (according to the specific version).

Now you can preview the document online. The documents attached to the requirements/stories, tasks, bugs, and cases can be viewed by directly clicking on them.
