Each co-author&#8217;s cursor is shown in a different color so it&#8217;s always clear who&#8217;s writing what, and a formal review mode lets you track edits and accept or reject changes from collaborators the same way you would in Microsoft Word and Google Docs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Documents can be shared internally with fine-grained permissions or via a public link, so even people without a Nextcloud account can view or edit them. Since Nextcloud supports multiple, independently configured public links, you can hand out different access levels for the same file, such as read-only, editable, or watermarked. Collaborators can leave and reply to comments directly in the margin of a document, so feedback stays attached to the exact passage it refers to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Collaboration isn&#8217;t limited to people on a single, shared install. Thanks to Nextcloud&#8217;s federated nature, teams on separate instances, such as subsidiaries or partner organizations, can co-author the same document across servers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nextcloud Write also helps you keep documents organized over time. Changes are saved continuously, with automatic saving and version history keeping previous versions available so you can review or restore earlier drafts. If multiple collaborators worked on different versions of a document, Nextcloud Write&#8217;s compare and combine tools let you reconcile and merge them into one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Intuitive editing of all common document formats<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When creating a new document in Nextcloud Write, you can use one of the built-in templates rather than starting with a blank page or build your own template for recurring document types like proposals or meeting notes. If you need support in creating your first draft, you can access Nextcloud&#8217;s optional <a href=\"https:\/\/nextcloud.com\/assistant\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AI assistant<\/a> from the Smart Picker menu, which also lets you quickly embed content from elsewhere in your Nextcloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full imageRoundShadow\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/nextcloud.com\/c\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Nextcloud-Office-Euro-office-templates.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-435964\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nextcloud.com\/c\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Nextcloud-Office-Euro-office-templates.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/nextcloud.com\/c\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Nextcloud-Office-Euro-office-templates-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nextcloud.com\/c\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Nextcloud-Office-Euro-office-templates-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nextcloud.com\/c\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Nextcloud-Office-Euro-office-templates-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nextcloud.com\/c\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Nextcloud-Office-Euro-office-templates-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nextcloud Write supports a wide range of document formats, including Microsoft Word&#8217;s DOCX and the open standard ODT. This ensures documents remain intact when you open and save them, regardless of which software was used to create them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you need to edit on the go, a dedicated mobile view ensures you can comfortably do so from your smartphone or tablet. On the big screen, you have the option to use Nextcloud Write in your browser or use the desktop apps for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Should you lose internet access, you can keep working offline and your changes will be synced once you&#8217;re back online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Secure access and private AI integration<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to Nextcloud&#8217;s granular access controls, you have the option to define exactly who can view, comment on, or edit a given document. When sharing it with others, you can scope these permissions down to individual links to ensure that whoever opens them only gets to do what you&#8217;ve allowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This level of control also extends to other Nextcloud apps that interact with Nextcloud Write. The LLM-powered <a href=\"https:\/\/nextcloud.com\/assistant\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nextcloud Assistant<\/a> helps you polish phrases, generate ideas, or summarize long documents. Which model it uses and whether it runs locally or on a server of a trusted provider is something your Nextcloud instance&#8217;s administrators have full control over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full imageRoundShadow\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/nextcloud.com\/c\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Assistant-extract-topics.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-411090\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nextcloud.com\/c\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Assistant-extract-topics.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/nextcloud.com\/c\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Assistant-extract-topics-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nextcloud.com\/c\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Assistant-extract-topics-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nextcloud.com\/c\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Assistant-extract-topics-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nextcloud.com\/c\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Assistant-extract-topics-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Nextcloud Office: the sovereign open source office suite for distributed teams<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a powerful document editor, Nextcloud Write is part of the integrated office suite <a href=\"https:\/\/nextcloud.com\/office\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nextcloud Office<\/a>.

Rather than switching between separate tools for file storage, chat, video calls, email, and document editing, Nextcloud Hub keeps them working together on the same infrastructure. In practice, this means that you can, for example, collaborate on a document with your team members during a video call, attach it to the calendar invite for the next meeting, and reference both the document and the corresponding discussions on the project&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/nextcloud.com\/blog\/nextcloud-deck-kanban-board-gantt-chart-app-for-teams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">kanban board<\/a>.
