As promised, in this article we’ll take a look at the upcoming features of LibreOffice 5.4, at least those that have been already revealed. These include new “Edit Section” and “Footnotes and Endnotes” entry in the context menu of the Writer, which work if the cursor is in a section, as well as in a footnote or endnote. Check out the screenshot gallery below to see them in action. Calc can now remember CSV export settings, new “Hide All Comments” and “Show All Comments” commands are implemented in the View – Comments menu, it’s possible to change the priority of conditional formatting rules using the new up and down buttons, and calculate with the “Precision as shown” option now supports fraction format, several subformats, engineering notation, and thousands divisors.
