One of the great things about Google Docs is that it is a pretty collaborative platform, where it allows users to work on documents together at the same time and to see the changes reflected in real-time. For the most part the collaborative features are pretty great, but if you rely on Google Docs pretty heavily, the recent update might be of interest to you.Google has announced that they will be introducing more collaborative features to Google Docs. This includes name versions of the document (or Sheet or Slide) that you’re editing. “Being able to assign custom names to versions of your document is a great way to keep a historical record of your team’s progress. It’s also helpful for communicating when a document is actually final. You can organize and track your team’s changes in one place under “Version history” (formerly known as “Revision history”) on the web.”
There is also the ability for users to preview “clean” versions of Docs, which is basically Google Docs minus all the comments or suggested edits, and is more or less what you might expect from the final copy that you plan to print or send off. Users can also accept or reject all suggestions at once, suggest changes via mobile devices, and there will also be support for Litera Change-Pro or Workshare. The changes and new features should already be live, so fire up Google Docs if you’d like to take the new features for a spin.
