Before cloud computing, Microsoft’s Office products were the norm; however, with Google’s introduction of Docs, Slides, and Sheets, the way we create, edit, and share documents has drastically changed.
Although Google’s cloud-based productivity services may not be the right option for everyone, the search giant is making them better and richer every day.
The latest update brings a bunch of useful editing features:
– You can now assign custom names to previous versions of your document, helping you organize every draft before a document is actually final.
– You can see what your Doc looks like without comments or suggested edits.
– and more.
The new update also brings new templates in Docs and Sheets, with built-in add-ons, which you can check out for yourself here.
Google Docs, Slides, and Sheets have come a long way since their launch, and at least among younger generations and users that have started to replace or at least co-exist with Microsoft Office. However, the search giant’s cloud-based products don’t (yet) offer the exact same capabilities as Microsoft’s products, but it’s clear that their purposes and their main audiences differ. To put it into perspective, in the realm of cloud-based productivity apps, Google holds the reins, and in the realm of traditional offline productivity services, Microsoft still dominates.
