    Enter user data

    "Options LibreOffice-UserData" Dialog
    "Properties of" Dialog

    In LibreOffice you can enter your user data respectively personal data.

    Select Tools ▸ Options ▸ LibreOffice ▸ User Data in the menu.

    At least the first and last name must be entered for the personal data.

    Effects

    If you have entered identifying information and save in the native file format, this information is saved with the document as “last edited by”. “Last work position” is saved for each such identity, and when you open the document from a LibreOffice instance with the same identity active, opening should jump to the spot where you (or rather “said identity”) made your last edit.
    This means, three conditions have to be met for this to work:
    * Document must be saved to Open Document Format (odt for Writer, ods for Calc).
    * You must have edited the document after entering identity info, and saved this edit.
    * You must have the same identity info active when opening the document again.
