Word processing for teams

What are the advantages of Docs

Commenting, chat and real-time editing:
  • Work in a single document with teammates or people outside your company. See edits as others type, communicate through built-in chat and ask questions through including comments.
Works with all popular file types:
  • Import your documents to make them instantly editable, including Microsoft® Word and PDF files. Export your work in .docx, .pdf, .odt, .rtf, .txt or .html format.
Unlimited revision history:
  • Track changes made to your documents and undo anything you choose. Previous versions are kept indefinitely and they don't count toward your storage.
