Google’s mobile office suite is great for viewing documents, spreadsheets, and presentations on the go. Creating and editing, we reckon there’s still some work to be done, but overall it’s pretty good if you’re just after some simple stuff. However if there is one feature that is missing, it would be the ability to leave comments.
For example you’re on the go and you’re going through a document and you want to leave a comment, but because it is the mobile version of their office apps, you can’t, at least not until now. Google has recently issued an update for all its mobile office apps – Sheets and Slides – in which users will now be able to leave comments on mobile. Note that Docs already has the ability to leave comments, so the update basically introduces slightly enhanced commenting features.
According to Google, “So starting today, you can use the same rich commenting experience across Google Docs, Sheets and Slides on your Android and iOS devices. You can now also quickly add a teammate to the conversation just by starting to type their name in a comment.” In addition, Docs for the desktop has also received a slight update in which you can leave comments just by highlighting parts of the document.
The update applies to both the iOS and Android lineup of productivity apps, so just head on over to either the iTunes App Store or Google Play Store to download the latest version of Docs, Slides, and/or Sheets.
