I am looking at the current licensing for both our Office 365 E1 & E3 licensed users. I know they both include Office Online Server ( Office Web Apps) which gives on-premises users the document preview feature. I just wondered if this just to view office documents in a browser or does it also cover document editing as well?

SolutionE3 definitely allows you to edit Office Apps Online.
As per MS article, even E1 allows you to edit the files online.

Thanks, I wanted to check the response I got from our supplier. For Office Online Server we need a minimum of an Office 365 E1 license to allow users to edit or view Office documents rendered by OOS.
I have learned to be a bit paranoid as to what is covered and what is not.

I think there's a little confusion here between Office Online (cloud based) and Office Online Server (which is on-premises server). @Deleted's link refers to cloud based Office Online, but if I understood correctly, the question is about Office Online Server

I am guessing that Daniel means "Office Online" because he is talking about E1 licences etc. You are correct - "Office Online Server" is the on-premises version of what we used to call Office Web Apps (or WAC, etc.).
