Migrate OnlyOffice to the new architecture

Olares 1.12.6 updates the shared app architecture, so you cannot update an existing OnlyOffice installation in place. This guide shows how to install the new version and move your documents to it.

WARNING

This guide is for an OnlyOffice installation created before the Olares 1.12.6 upgrade. If you installed OnlyOffice after upgrading, use the OnlyOffice guide instead.

Migrate your documents to the new app

1. Back up your documents.

   a. Open Files, and then go to Documents.

   b. Select the documents you uploaded through OnlyOffice, and then download them to another location.

2. Uninstall the previously installed OnlyOffice app. When prompted, do not select Also remove all local data. This preserves the previous installation data needed for migration.

3. Install the new OnlyOffice app.

   a. Open Market and search for "OnlyOffice".

   b. Click the app card to open the app details page.

   c. Check the Information panel. The Compatibility field shows Olares >=1.12.6-0 for the new version.

   d. Click Get, then Install, and wait for installation to complete.

4. Move your documents to the new location.

   a. Open Files, and then go to Application > Data > onlyofficev3 > documents.

   b. Move your backup documents to this directory.

   c. Open OnlyOffice from Launchpad and check that the files appear on the home page.

Your OnlyOffice documents are now available in the new app.

Clean up legacy data

After you confirm that the migration succeeded and the new app works as expected, you can delete the legacy data folder to free up disk space.

WARNING

Deleting the legacy data cannot be undone. Check that every document opens in the new app and keep a separate backup before continuing.

Open Files, go to Application > Data > onlyofficev2, and delete the folder.
