If you deploy Alfresco using containerized deployment, AOS is already pre-installed in our Docker images. Use this information to install the repository manually, or for installing into an existing Alfresco instance.
Installing Alfresco Office Services allows Microsoft Office Suite applications (for example, Word, PowerPoint, and Excel) to interact with Alfresco similar to SharePoint. This feature allows you to edit Office documents in Alfresco Share and to modify Office files without checking them in and out. Alfresco locks the file while it is being modified and releases the lock when the file is saved and closed.
