Usually, when people decide to break loose from Microsoft's ecosystem, they usually start with the office suite, going for [open source alternatives](https://itsfoss.com/best-free-open-source-alternatives-microsoft-office/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) like LibreOffice and ONLYOFFICE.

The latter of which got a major release [back in 2024](https://www.onlyoffice.com/blog/2024/10/onlyoffice-docs-8-2-released?ref=itsfoss.com), further solidifying its position in the space. Months after have passed since, and a new ONLYOFFICE Docs release has arrived, marking its first release of 2025.

Let's get right into it. 😄

## 🆕 ONLYOFFICE Docs 8.3: What's New?

The new “Merge Shapes” feature in action on Presentations.

Starting off, this release of ONLYOFFICE Docs ships with a new “*Merge Shapes*” feature across all the editors, **allowing users to manipulate or combine shapes** to create custom elements quickly. 

Additionally, there is improved right-to-left language (*RTL*) support, with the ability to change the default sheet and paragraph direction in text documents, as well as support for the Albanian language.

**For Spreadsheets**, there are new AutoFill options for automatically filling out days and years, better handling of pivot tables, and the ability to add auto-updating external links for ensuring important data is always up-to-date.

ONLYOFFICE Docs 8.3 Spreadsheets auto-update external links and new undo option.

The real-time collaboration aspect of Spreadsheets also gets some attention, with a new “*undo*” action being made available during live edits.

Next up are the **changes to Presentations**, which now allow users to **draw directly on the canvas** in the slideshow or presenter modes using the pen and highlighter tools in the editor.

The developers have also added **a new “*Design*” tab** that will feel familiar to you if you have used other office suites. This page acts as a one-stop place for access to styles, color schemes, slide adjustments, and more.

Similarly, **many new tools were added to the PDF editor** that allow users to add stamps, adjust annotation opacity, select multiple pages, and a new quick panel that facilitates editing annotations.
