What are the benefits of Google docs on report and share progress ?
Google Docs and the other apps in the Google Drive suite serve as a collaborative tool for cooperative editing of documents in real-time.
Documents can be shared, opened, and edited by multiple users simultaneously and users are able to see character-by-character changes as other collaborators make edits.
Changes are automatically saved to Google’s servers, and a revision history is automatically kept so past edits may be viewed and reverted to.
An editor’s current position is represented with an editor-specific color/cursor, so if another editor happens to be viewing that part of the document they can see edits as they occur.
A sidebar chat functionality allows collaborators to discuss edits.
The revision history allows users to see the additions made to a document, with each author distinguished by color. Only adjacent revisions can be compared, and users cannot control how frequently revisions are saved.
Files can be exported to a user’s local computer in a variety of formats (ODF, HTML, PDF, RTF, text, Office Open XML). Files can be tagged and archived for organizational purposes.
