Back from Cool Days 2024
Back from Cool Days 2024
At the beginning of April, we were at Cool Days organised by Collabora in Cambridge.
Table of Content
Last year, a dark mode was in the works for both our apps; one year on, the dark theme is an integral part of Pristy & Collabora!
Highlights
The new version 24.04 of Collabora Online includes some great new features, with a very active team maintaining a large community: well done to everyone!
We attended numerous lightning talk of various improvements and upcoming features.
You’ll find the ones that impressed us the most or that we’re really looking forward to below.
Cool Days is also an opportunity to meet other Collabora partners and discuss the features and improvements to come in future versions. We can’t say much more than that we can’t wait to see what comes next!

Premium partner
Collabora is our exclusive partner for online and simultaneous editing of office documents.
We explained this choice to you in March 2023 and our point of view hasn’t changed.
(Re)read the article: Why I chose Collabora Online.
We developed an integration for Alfresco and Collabora a few years ago. Since then, we have integrated and made Collabora Online a central element of Pristy, our EDM.
Thanks again to the Collabora team for their warm welcome. We look forward to seeing you at OW2!
