Hello, When the browser tab is closed, Web Author server is notified which in turn unlocks the document. Web Author usually issues a PROPFIND request to find if the UNLOCK operation is allowed. Maybe in your case, the WebDAV server does not answers to the PROPFIND request in the way that Web Author ...

Hello, To override an action from the context menu you have to register your action with the same ID in the ActionsManager.

Hello, Web Author interprets some headers sent by the WebDAV server, such as: "oxygen_read_only" and "oxygen_read_only_reason". The first one, if present signals that the file is read-only, while the second one can specify a string to be displayed on the yellow stripe. More detai...

Hello, Thanks for reporting this problem. We tried using Nginx and Apache HTTP server as reverse proxies without problems.

Hello, Having a transformation to PDF would be a good alternative. However, we do not currently have such an option for Web Author. I added your vote for this feature request.

1. The language used by the spell-checker.
2. The language of the user interface.
3. The language used to write the content.

Which one are you referring to?

Hello, I'm surprised the WebDAV server is not intended for use in production. I know WebDAV is a bit old, so perhaps that is why? Web Author has a WebDAV client that can be used in production. It is already used by many of our customers with a CMS that implements the WebDAV protocol or with an Apach...

Hello, The files served by the builtin WebDAV server are found in the [oxygen.data.dir]/webdav-server/. This is the only place where they can be found.
