The new XELOS Office Integration Release 2.3 is now available with improved compatibility.

The new version of XELOS Office Integration 2.3 is now available for customers of the social intranet solution XELOS PRO. The comprehensive plugin allows you to easily edit and share documents with colleagues directly from familiar Microsoft Office programs such as MS Word, MS Excel, MS Powerpoint or MS Outlook.

Some of the new features in this release include

  • The new version is also compatible with the latest MS Office 365 desktop releases. Due to a change by Microsoft in the integration of add-ins regarding multi-display setups, the use of XOI <= 2.2 and the current Office versions resulted in display errors such as a display of the sidebar outside the MS Office program window. Alternatively, this problem can be solved by activating the compatibility mode in the respective application under Options > General > When using multiple displays > Optimize for compatibility as workaround.
  • Fixed a bug where Excel did not display meta information (versions, comments,...) in the sidebar when opening documents from the intranet (Direct Edit).
  • The direct opening of MS Publisher and MS Visio documents from the intranet is now supported. Due to limitations of the Microsoft API, however, no toolbar + sidebar is provided in these applications. (Requires XELOS 7.1).
  • The automatic detection of XOI installations now also works with the latest Google Chrome version. Here the necessary certificates were updated due to the Symantec SSL Lockout.
  • The function "Attach from Intranet" in Outlook now also works within the "docked" view (Inline Response) of the message editor.
  • The timeout for uploads to the intranet has been increased for more stability with slower connections.
  • The detection whether an MS Office is installed and linked to the respective file extension was provided with a fallback for systems that may have an invalid link of the file type on the Windows side.
The new release is available via the integrated XOI updater as well as at the URL https://my.xelos.net/xelosXOI and requires a correspondingly configured XELOS installation.
