2020 was the year that propelled the notion of [remote work](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote%5Fwork?ref=itsfoss.com) to new heights, at a time when being physically present at a workplace was to be avoided at all costs. The same year also saw **the growth of collaborative office suites** that enabled teams to work together seamlessly without their geographical location being a constraint.

Some popular names in this field include Google Workspaces, Microsoft 365, and Zoho Workplace. But, back in 2023, [ONLYOFFICE](https://www.onlyoffice.com/?ref=itsfoss.com) forayed into this sector with their DocSpace offering, and it has been progressing rather nicely since then.

Today, we have the ONLYOFFICE DocSpace 3.0 release to check out.

## 🆕 ONLYOFFICE DocSpace 3.0: What's New?

With more than twenty-five new features and improvements, DocSpace is **a major release** that is meant to make its users' experience more secure and convenient.

We start things off with the new **Virtual Data Rooms**, which are secure rooms for storing and sharing confidential information, where all content can be automatically indexed and tracked, with a summary report being generated for effortless record-keeping.

Here, there are additional features for files like watermarking, setting expiration dates, and restricting download/copying.

Similarly, there is **added functionality for public rooms**, with non-member users now being able to edit, review, or comment on the contents of a room, depending on the permissions granted.

You can add a custom logo to rooms now, too!

Moving on, **user types and roles have seen a revamp**, with the Accounts section now being called “*Contacts*” and having three tabs: *Members (formerly known as People)*, *Groups*, and *Guests*.

Then, there are the two new user types that replace the existing ones. *User*, which replaces Power user, and *Guest*, which replaces User. The “*Guests*” tab mentioned earlier is for tracking the latter.

There are two new user roles too, Room manager and Content creator, which differ in the level of permissions they have.

**On the file management front**, DocSpace now allows users to choose whether to display file extensions next to a file's name or not. It can be done by going into Profile > File management, and enabling “*Display file extension next to file name*”.

Wrapping this up, there is also **support for OAuth 2.0** on DocSpace3.0 for user authorization and other actions.
