Task #2688
closedcreate LibreOffice 6.2 New Features video
0%
Description
As with previous releases, create a video showing off the new features. Steps to take:
- Select noteworthy features from the release notes
- Create script based on them and get feedback on marketing-priv@
- Make audio, video and screenshots, and combine into video(s)
- Add credit where appropriate (developer and affiliation)
- A couple of weeks before the release, put the script on the wiki and ask localisers for translations
This time, I may create a single "longer" (3 mins or so) video with everything included, and then shorter videos for the individual components, which are more suitable for social media.

New Features in LibreOffice 6.2
LibreOffice 6.2 brings a new user interface design, extra features, better compatibility, and performance improvements.
NotebookBar
The NotebookBar is a new - but optional - user interface. It unifies toolbars, and groups them into tabs, helping you to work smarter and faster.

It's not enabled by default, so to try it, go to View in the menu, User Interface, and choose Tabbed.

Now you can switch between the tabs to access different features and options, all neatly grouped together. To find out more about what a button does, just hover the mouse pointer over it.

Quick shortcut buttons are in the top-left, for saving a document, undo/redo, and printing.
You can also open the full menu here. If you want to go back to the regular user interface, simply go to View, User Interface, and choose Standard Toolbar.
An alternative NotebookBar design called Groupedbar Compact is also available. This gives you quick access to common features, and drop-down menus to access more of them.

To return to the regular interface, click Menu, User Interface, Standard Toolbar.
General
Many improvements have been made to OOXML and EMF support, especially for charts and animations, for even better compatibility with Microsoft Office documents.

In addition, OOXML agile encryption has been implemented, along with HMAC verification, for enhanced document security.

Signature Lines can now be signed with an image of a handwritten signature.

The help system now has faster filtering of index keywords, highlighting your search term as you type, and displaying results based on the selected module.

Context menus have been tidied up, to be more consistent across the different components in the suite.

Finally, LibreOffice's personalization dialog is now much faster, efficient, and stable. You can choose from several built-in themes, or add other ones.

Writer
In Writer, you can now directly copy spreadsheet data into tables, instead of just inserting them as objects.

When you're exporting a document, UTF-8 and UTF-16-encoded text may now be saved without the byte-order mark.

LibreLogo, the programming interface for graphic design and education has got unit testing, compiler fixes and improvements.

When you're tracking changes in a document, performance is much faster now, especially in large documents.

Calc
In the spreadsheet, it's now possible to do multivariate regression analysis using the regression tool. In addition, many more statistical measures are now available in the analysis output.

Meanwhile, data dalidation now supports custom formulas.

A new function, REGEX, was added, to match text against a regular expression and optionally replace it.

Impress & Draw
When you're editing an animation, you can now change the motion path by dragging its control points.
[credit: Mark Hung]
A couple of text-related drawing styles were added, while a Table submenu was added to the to Format menu in Draw.

LibreOffice Online, the cloud-based version of the suite, includes many improvements too. On mobile devices, the user interface has been simplified, with better responsiveness and updates to the on-screen keyboard.

Video is almost finished – preview sent to marketing-priv@ for last-minute checks. Here's the script with some minor tweaks after recording – I'll put it on the wiki for translations in a few days:

Script is now on the wiki for translations:

This should be the final part of the process, but let's leave the ticket open a bit longer in case anything comes up!
Updated by Mike Saunders about 5 years ago
- Status changed from In Progress to Closed
So the translations worked well and the video has over 31,000 views after being public for four days. Closing now.
