 📢 tl;dr: Join us and smoke test what it will be the upcoming new stable version of Collabora Online

📣 📆 Tomorrow Oct 26, 12:00 CEST Collaborative Testing session

👋 We need you!

Become part of the next version's improvements by smoke testing the current alpha

• 📦 What: Alpha 1 (that was already released AKA 1st alpha of 21.11 version)
• 📆 When: Still to be decided
• 💻 How:
  • Using a jitsi room: https://meet.jit.si/COOLSmokeTest
    • With a short introduction and explanation
    • Everyone will work collaboratively around the same spreadsheet filling the blanks according to their OS, web browser, etc
  • OR by doing it alone
    • By filling up the bits you want in this spreadsheet
    • And by reporting any bugs
• Goal: You will have fun; Help improve Collabora Online and get credited in the process 💪
• Report your bugs using this bug type

❣️ Interested? Request access:

• Send email to [email protected] if you wish to have a testing account
  • An NC account with Collabora Online will be created for you ;) at https://staging.eu.collaboraonline.com/nextcloud
• Don't want to create an account?
  • Informal Smoke test spreadsheet to help you in your tests: https://staging.eu.collaboraonline.com/nextcloud/index.php/s/B7W9LLFcWZQn64G

I am interested in testing - but not on creating an account, if you can send me the links I would prefer it that way.

[pedropintosilva]

@dnegreira hm you shouldn't encounter any hiccup:

[pedropintosilva]

1. Avatar > + apps
2. Search for Collabora Online (the connector , see the description)
3. Install
4. Go to settings
5. Click in the app on the left side
6. Fill in the https://staging.eu.collaboraonline.com/

[dnegreira]

That works like a charm! I am able to use the staging server from my nextcloud instance.
How do I now access the smoke test spreadsheet from my nextcloud instance?

[pedropintosilva]

@dnegreira hm I can only think of two ways:

• If your Nextcloud has the federative option, you could send me the id and I would invite you to the folder
• Or just simply download the spreadsheet and the demo docs folder and upload to your NC : p

Ah or editing the spreadsheet using the public link and testing with your own documents in your NC

[dnegreira]

I think the option of editing the public link spreadsheet + testing with my own documents in my NC would be the best option.
Is this something you are looking to test as well?
