As you know , HCL Connections have a complementary sw named Docs, that is able to add the feature to view/edit "office" files inside Connections directly into the Browser.

Connections 6.0 CR5. pay attention to the path in case of manual upgrade of TinyMCE editor !
By Matteo Bisi | 7/30/19 4:08 AM | Infrastructure - Connections | Added by Roberto Boccadoro
Since Connections 6.0 CR5 , was released there was also an update of the great optional editor formerly know as Ephox now named TinyMCE 5.
I love this editor ( and my customers love it too) because all the features available, so I usually add it to all my Connections setup.
In almost every cases the setup is very easy because to perform the setup it's needed only to run a script and install an EAR on the appserver but in some cases due particular SSH config, it could be required the manual setup.
During my last CR5 upgrade I wasn't able to use the script so I've followed the manual setup like it's written on IBM Documentation at this page..
