Getting Started: Creating a Google Doc
Visit the Google Doc Editors Help Center to learn how to:

Strategies for Collaborating with Others
- Assign different color fonts or highlight colors to each group member.
- Use folders: rather than sharing a single document, break your project into pieces that can be put together if need be.
- Insert comments or footnotes.
- Send a notification: under the "Share" button, this is a handy option. You can very quickly send a note to all the other document contributors.
- Suggest edits in a document.
- View the revision history.
