New Google Docs Features
Google Docs keeps getting better as developers focus even more in real-time collaboration and in creating a more robust set of features.
This document explains how to unleash some new features on Google Documents (before they are rolled out to everyone by default).
Here are the set of features that were added and how to activate them (directly quoted from their website):
- Real time collaboration: See updates from other collaborators as they edit the document.
- Higher-quality imports: More consistent imports from your desktop into Google Docs.
- Chat with other collaborators: As you make your edits, you can chat with other document editors about the changes, from within the document.
- Ruler: Google documents have a ruler for setting margins, indentations, and tab stops.
If you’d like to try out these features and start creating documents using the new version of Google documents, just follow these steps:
- Click the Settings link in the top-right of your Docs list.
- Click the Editing tab.
- Select the option labeled “Create new text documents using the latest version of the document editor.”
