Description
Hi,
is it possible to add a "view only" button /setting as default for documents with Collabora in Nextcloud?
At the moment a simply view of a document generate a new version, but nothing was changed,
that is very confusing for many users.
Thank you.

Research direction
Start by locating the Collabora document-opening flow and the behavior that creates a new version on viewing. Clarify whether the change should be a button, a default setting, or both; done should mean that viewing without edits does not create a new document version while editing still does.
