Legacy document viewer

The legacy document viewer allows you to view older, non-open XML Microsoft files directly in Fuse, such as DOC, XLS, PPT, and PDFs.

Files from Google, such as Google Docs, Sheets and Slides cannot be viewed in Fuse’s document viewer. However, you can embed these files in articles using an embed code. For information on how to do this, see Embedding external content (e.g. Google files) in Fuse articles.

The legacy document viewer comes with the following options:
