LibreOffice 6.3 is smarter, faster and easier to use.
New General features:
A new version of the NotebookBar user interface, introced in LibreOffice 6.2, is now available.
The Tabbed Compact mode, in the View menu, provides more space for your documents, spreadsheets and presentations.
You can now redact your documents to remove or hide sensitive information. This can help your company or organisation to comply with regulations.

Now you can use the tools to hide specific information before exporting and sharing the document.
Documents can be exported as .dotx and .xltx templates, for better compatibility with Microsoft Office, while support for PDF/A-2 has been implemented.
In addition, enhancements were made to Tagged PDF export in order to improve accessiblity of produced documents.
On Windows, a proper console mode was added, with better output and error codes.
This helps when you're using LibreOffice to perform batch operations, such as printing or converting many documents.
Finally, help pages for Python macro programming were added, while an optional "Tip of the day" box appears when you start LibreOffice, helping you to get more from the software
Writer:
Page background now cover the entire page, rather than just to the margins.
When you're copying data from Calc spreadsheet into Writer, and have applied a filter to the data, only the visible cells from the filter will be copied.
The AutoCorrect feature has been updated to recognise words that start with a small letter. When you type them at the start of sentence, Writer won't try to correct them.
Performance has been improved, especially for documents with many bookmarks, tables and embedded fonts.
Calc
Spreadsheet tabs have been changed to improve visibility.
A new drop-down widget in the formula bar replaces the old Sum tool, giving you quick access to more options.
For better performance, a new checkbox in the Data > Statistics > Moving average dialog lets you trim the input range to the actual data content before coputing the moving-average.
The Rework Data > Statistics > Sampling dialog now has extra options; "With replacement" and "Keep order".
A new FOURIER() function was added, which computes the discrete Fourier transform of an input array.
Features of this function are available in the Data > Statistics > Fourier analysis dialog.
Impress & Draw
In the presentation tool, you can now drag-and-drop multiple animations to reorder them.
And in Draw, the graphics tool, the tabs to switch between images are now much more visible.
LibreOffice Online
In LibreOffice Online, the cloud-based version of the suit, selection and rotating of images in Writer is now easier and faster.
LibreOffice Online already supports a wide range of documents formats - and in this release, you can view Microsoft Visio files.
In Calc, you now have the full power of the conditional formatting features.
Watermarks are important for secure collaboration - and this release introduces a dialog to add and change them.
