Cross posted on the Google Enterprise BlogWhile feedback and revision are crucial steps to successful writing, it’s not always easy to do in practice. Keeping track of revisions, deciphering edits, and arranging reviews can keep us from repeating this editing cycle more often.The collaborative nature of Google Apps can help evolve the writing process with easy sharing and anytime, anywhere collaboration.
