Where LibreOffice fits
Choose it when a locally installed office suite fits better than a browser-only service.
Check before you choose
Test important Microsoft Office files for layout and formula compatibility before exchanging final versions.
Find the right edition
Start with the destination for your device or the publisher's website. Use the current requirements and terms there to confirm the edition you need.
Compare the workflow
Separate personal notes, office documents and shared project tracking when comparing options. Local files offer a different ownership model from a hosted workspace, and synchronization is not a substitute for a backup.
