There are many new features in this release, thanks to our volunteers and certified developers, including the NotebookBar. If you haven’t seen it yet, here’s a quick look at how it works:

LibreOffice’s worldwide community of volunteers and certified developers has been working hard on the many updates in LibreOffice 6.2. But while shiny new features are great for users, it’s important that they’re well-tested too! That’s where our QA (Quality Assurance) community comes into play.

Roman Kuznetsov (aka Kompilainenn) from our documentation community has created a Conditional Formatting Guide for LibreOffice Calc. He says:

In this guide I wrote about:

• How to create, change and delete conditional formatting
• Multiple conditions for one cell range, and priority of condition processing
• Creating cell styles for conditional formatting
• All categories and all types of conditional formatting
• Copying of conditional formatting

I want to say a very big thank you to Sophie Gautier for reviewing this guide, and to Mike Kaganski for fixing of some bugs in conditional formatting I found when I wrote it.
