Changes

Rewrites overview sections for all five on-premises service installation pages to clearly distinguish between the server-side service and the editor plugin it supports:

  • Hyperlinking service: Now states it is a server-side component that powers the Link Checker and Enhanced Media Embed plugins, which must be configured separately to connect to it.
  • Image Proxy service: Clarifies it provides back-end capabilities used by the Image Editing plugin.
  • Spelling service: Clarifies it powers the Spell Checker plugin.
  • Export to PDF service: Notes it can be used as the back end for the Export to PDF plugin or directly via its REST API.
  • Import from Word and Export to Word service: Notes it can be used as the back end for the Import/Export Word plugins or directly via the REST API.

Also fixes page titles and descriptions that used inconsistent "service server-side component" phrasing, replacing with "server-side service".

Context

…e docs

Rewrite overview sections for all five on-premises service pages to
clearly distinguish between the server-side service and the editor
plugin it supports. Services with APIs (Export to PDF, Import/Export
Word) now document both plugin-backed and direct API usage paths.

Affected pages:
- Hyperlinking service
- Image Proxy service
- Spelling service
- Export to PDF service
- Import from Word and Export to Word service
== Overview

The On-Premises version of the link:https://www.tiny.cloud/tinymce/features/link-checker/[{linkcheckerplugin}^] and link:https://www.tiny.cloud/tinymce/features/enhanced-media-embed/[{mediaembedplugin}^] is an application that can be installed and run on the customer’s in-house servers and computing infrastructure, including a private cloud.
The Hyperlinking service is a server-side component that provides link validation and rich media resolution capabilities. It runs on-premises within the host infrastructure and powers the link:https://www.tiny.cloud/tinymce/features/link-checker/[{linkcheckerplugin}^] and link:https://www.tiny.cloud/tinymce/features/enhanced-media-embed/[{mediaembedplugin}^] plugins in the {productname} editor. Once deployed, each plugin must be configured separately to connect to this service.
