And, this time, it includes a good set of new abilities. + +📋 + +Starting in **2024** , The Document Foundation will follow calendar-based numbering, i.e., the next version scheduled for Feb 2024 will be identified as **LibreOffice** **24.2.** + +Let us take a look at what's new with the release. + +### LibreOffice 7.6: What's New? + +As expected, there are refinements across all the tools, with highlights for the Writer, Calc, and Impress; they are: + + * **Support for document themes** + * **Improvements to Help** + * **Compatibility improvements** + * **New Page Number Wizard (Writer)** + * **Navigation panel for slides (Impress)** + * **Auto-filter support for sorting by color (Calc)** + + + +#### Writer Improvements + +The highlight feature update is the support for document themes. In other words, when needed, you can select a preset of color combinations for your document's title, text, and subheadings. + +![][2] + +You can find the option via **Format → Themes**. + +A subtle but significant addition is adding a page number to the header/footer using a new wizard under the **Insert** menu. + +You also get a new option to enable the spotlight for the paragraph styles or direct formatting in text. + +![][3] + +For a UX-focused improvement, you can find the " **Accesbility Check** " from the sidebar for quick access while editing a document. + +![][4] + +Other changes include: + + * Table of figures can now be generated more flexibly using a paragraph-based style + * Bibliography entries can now be directly edited from its tables + * Writer warns if you try accidentally to delete a hidden section from your document + * Custom dictionaries for phrase checking are accepted + + + +#### Calc Improvements + +![][5] + +Sorting has been made easy with the new ability to sort things by color. + +In addition to this, you get a compact new layout for pivot tables. Other subtle and technical refinements include: + + * Spreadsheets copied to another file retain a user-defined print range + * Ability to customize the default look of new comments + * Solver settings are saved + * If the sheet is empty, no confirmation is shown to delete it + * Hyperlink formatting has been improved to make it look distinct + + + +#### Impress & Draw Improvements + +When you play a presentation now, you will get navigation buttons to go through them quickly. It is a small addition, but it should help you easily navigate through the slides. + +Other refinements include: + + * Added support for multi-image tiff files + * Objects can be listed in front-to-back order in the navigator + + + +#### Other Changes + +![][6] + +Along with the highlights, you also get an improved " **Help** " section, which displays information about commands/shortcuts you need to change layout or do many things quicker. + +To dive in deeper, you can check out [LibreOffice 7.6 release notes][7]. + +### How to Upgrade/Install? + +LibreOffice should already be pre-installed for most users.

It should take a few days. + +🚧 + +You can also choose to uninstall LibreOffice from your system and get the new version by following the steps below. We recommend you to wait if you can. + +If you do not have it installed and want to get the new version, simply [download the tar package][8] as per your requirements (DEB/RPM). + +![][9] + +Next, extract the package, and find all the .deb/.rpm files under a "DEBS" or "RPMS" folder. + +![][10] + +Once you are in that folder, use the right-click menu to open it in the terminal (as shown in the image above) and type one of the following commands as per the package (Fedora and Debian-based distros): + +![][11] + +``` + + sudo dnf install *.rpm + + sudo dpkg -i *.deb + +``` + +_💬 What do you think about the latest LibreOffice release?
