What will happen to the Office Connector?

[Deleted user]

Will Office Connector get retired when the Atlassian Companion get's mor popular or

will it stay and be maintained as rederer for Office Documents?

As I recall the Office connector uses WebDAV and/or an addon to make editing available for certain browsers.

Of the current browser versions only IE supports the Office connector officially. Firefox doesn't work at all (Old plugin) & Chrome works but is not supported insight Confluence (Edit in Office is missing in file preview).

So you can make up your mind about future support...

That will be a good question for Atlassian people. Let me ask and then get back to you.

Harald,

The app will be bundled with confluence.
