So if you want to upgrade LibreOffice, open terminal from the Dash\/Menu (or press Ctrl+Alt+T). When it opens, run commands to add its PPA:<\/p>\n<pre style=\"border:none;\">sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:libreoffice\/ppa<\/pre>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/libreoffice-ppa.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/libreoffice-ppa-450x81.jpg\" alt=\"libreoffice-ppa\" width=\"450\" height=\"81\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4957\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/libreoffice-ppa-450x81.jpg 450w, https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/libreoffice-ppa-600x109.jpg 600w, https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/libreoffice-ppa.jpg 776w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>2. After adding the PPA, you can install\/upgrade the office suite by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>opening <b>Software Updater<\/b> and installing available updates after checking for updates.<\/li>\n<li>or by running below commands one by one directly in terminal:\n<pre style=\"border:none;\">sudo apt-get update \n\nsudo apt-get install libreoffice<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>3.(Optional) If for some reason, you want to remove the new release and revert your office installation.
