We use LibreOffice as one of our primary desktop apps and we have been using its appimage extensively. One of the main advantages of using the appimage is to ensure that the entire company uses the same version. AppImage also allows us (at least some of our machines) to almost instantly (and temporarily) switch to an older version when necessary (in case there is a regression). LibreOffice developers are doing a great job in maintaining and updating their appimages.
LibreOffice appimages can be downloaded from:
https://www.libreoffice.org/download/appimage/
You can create a .desktop file to run LibreOffice just like an installed system; the following is a quick and dirty example:
Of course you have to create a Libreoffice-icon.png file in an appropriate folder, then copy your .desktop file to the /usr/share/applications folder.
You can also create different .desktop files if you need to run different versions of LibreOffice. You can also "install" (i.e., copy) LibreOffice into a USB stick. The ability (& ease) to run LibreOffice as a appimage is one of the unique advantages of using LibreOffice over Microsoft Office, and Linux (Debian) desktop over Microsoft Windows.
