Features of Google Docs

• Make Suggestions

When you are collaborating with others it is not appropriate to make edits and changes without the opinion of others. So, you can use the Suggesting feature of Google Docs and show your edits to the other collaborators giving them a chance to accept or reject them.

To avoid confusion Google Docs shows the changes as color-coded suggestions with a comment next to each to show who made the change. Each comment has an Accept and Reject button for others to choose from.
