Along with the release of the new features, we updated API for the editors, plugins, and Document Builder. Check the details below.

## Adjusting document saving for WOPI operations

The new request headers are available for the [PutFile](https://api.onlyoffice.com/editors/wopi/restapi/putfile) to distinguish between three types of file saving:

- X-LOOL-WOPI-IsModifiedByUser indicates whether a user has modified the document before saving, or if they just pressed the Save button without any modification.
- X-LOOL-WOPI-IsAutosave indicates whether the PutFile is triggered by autosave or any user operation such as hitting the Save button or menu entry.
- X-LOOL-WOPI-IsExitSave indicates whether autosave will be triggered when the document gets cleaned up from memory, e.g. when all users disconnect, or not.

## Updated conversion and new formats

You can now define the document layout which specifies parameters for printing forms as PDF documents or images. [Learn more](https://api.onlyoffice.com/editors/conversionapi#documentLayout)

Another parameter allows defining the document renderer when converting a file from PDF, XPS, and OXPS. [Learn more](https://api.onlyoffice.com/editors/conversionapi#documentRenderer)

Besides, we added new conversion options:

- from [PDF](https://api.onlyoffice.com/editors/conversionapi#text-matrix) to DOCX,
- from [XPS and OXPS](https://api.onlyoffice.com/editors/conversionapi#text-matrix) to DOCX,
- from [XLSB](https://api.onlyoffice.com/editors/conversionapi#spreadsheet-matrix) format (along with opening of [XLSB](https://api.onlyoffice.com/editors/config/#documentType) files).

## Defining user groups for info display

With the document.permissions.userInfoGroups [parameter](https://api.onlyoffice.com/editors/config/document/permissions#userInfoGroups), you are able to specify the groups of users whose information is shown in the editors, including:

- user names in the list of the currently editing users in the header,
- user cursors and tooltips with their names when typing text,
- user names when locking objects in the strict co-editing mode.

```
"permissions": {
  ...
  "userInfoGroups": ["Group1", ""]
  ... },
```

Here, the [“Group1”, “”] means that the information about users from the Group 1 and users who don’t belong to any group is displayed.

## Spellchecker settings

Starting from version 7.1, we added the editorConfig.customization.features [parameter section](https://api.onlyoffice.com/editors/config/editor/customization#features), which allows setting up the parameters that users can disable or customize if possible, including spellchecker.

The editorConfig.customization.spellcheck field is now deprecated and you should use the editorConfig.customization.features.spellcheck [field](https://api.onlyoffice.com/editors/config/editor/customization#features) instead to define if the spellchecker is automatically switched on or off when the document or presentation editor is loaded.

```
"features": {
  "spellcheck": {
  "mode": true,
  }
```

## Other changes

- The parameter list in the initialization config [signature](https://api.onlyoffice.com/editors/signature/browser#open) is now strictly regulated.
- The editorConfig.customization.chat parameter is deprecated — use the document.permissions.chat [parameter](https://api.onlyoffice.com/editors/config/document/permissions#chat) instead.
- The services.CoAuthoring.token.inbox.inBody and services.CoAuthoring.token.outbox.inBody parameters for enabling [token in body](https://api.onlyoffice.com/editors/signature/body) are deprecated.

## API updates for plugins

- Access to the _window_ and _documen__t_ objects as well as the _alert_ function is restricted from the plugin command code and macros. [Learn more](https://api.onlyoffice.com/plugin/code)
- New methods for plugins with OLE object: [GetAllOleObjects](https://api.onlyoffice.com/plugin/executemethod/getalloleobjects), [RemoveOleObject](https://api.onlyoffice.com/plugin/executemethod/removeoleobject), [RemoveOleObjects](https://api.onlyoffice.com/plugin/executemethod/removeoleobjects), and [SelectOleObject](https://api.onlyoffice.com/plugin/executemethod/selectoleobject).

## API updates for Document Builder

The [DocBuilder API](https://api.onlyoffice.com/docbuilder/basic) was considerably enhanced. Along with generating DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, and PDF files, you can now work with [fillable forms](https://www.onlyoffice.com/form-creator.aspx?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=docs_71_devs), e.g.:

```
builder.CreateFile("docxf");
ONLYOFFICE Document Builder
var oDocument = Api.GetDocument();  
text document contents
var oTextForm = Api.CreateTextForm();
var oParagraph = oDocument.GetElement(0);
oParagraph.AddElement(oTextForm); 
oTextForm.SetText("John Smith"); 
builder.SaveFile("docxf", "example.docxf");
format with the 'example.docxf' name
builder.CloseFile();   
ONLYOFFICE Document Builder
```

In addition to the new form methods, we also added [more methods](https://api.onlyoffice.com/docbuilder/changelog) for working with:

- cross-references,
- reviewing,
- table background,
- spreadsheet areas and ranges,
- presentations (including layout, placeholders, themes, drawing, slides, etc.).
