Maybe try un-installing it and re-installing it using Synaptic Package Manager Or> your Software Center.

Since Zorin is based on Ubuntu I would remove the current LibreOffice

sudo apt purge libreoffice-common

To get the latest edition go to the LibreOffice website - https://www.libreoffice.org/ - and download it - once downloaded - now extract the contents you should see a folder called LibreOffice_7.2.4.1_Linux_x86-64_deb - now open that folder you will see a folder called DEBS - now open that folder and you will see a whole bunch of deb files - this is what you are going to install - right click and open a terminal inside the DEBS folder - in the terminal type in

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

this will install it

Once OP installs the latest version of LibreOffice will it get updated in the future updates in Zorin?

No you would have to add the LibreOffice PPA

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
sudo apt update

or you can go to the LibreOffice website and download the latest version in the series and repeat the process in #3 to update it - LibreOffice will update currently is the 7.2 series - 7.2.1, 7.2.2, 7.2.3, now 7.2.4 etc - you can update that series but when 7.3 comes out you cannot upgrade from 7.2 to 7.3 - 7.3 it will be a fresh install creating all new folders/desktop entries and so forth - so you would have to uninstall 7.2 first then install 7.3 whenever that comes out - else you will have 2 LibreOffice's installed 7.2 and 7.3

Be advised that the PPA is usually slower to update then the website - me I just download it from the website and upgrade the series that way I do not use the PPA myself since it is slow to update

I've never seen LibreOffice auto update. Also had to manually install any updated version. In Windows, the in-app update feature works. Never seen it work in an Ubuntu-based distro.

It does if it's installed properly. Try Lubuntu, as one example, where it's installed by default and then upgrades along with the system. There are upgrades every few days, or so it seems.
