For me, it's the ability to collaborate with others in real-time, easy sharing (ideally something that doesn't require multiple clicks to get to the doc), and the ability to leave comments or tag people! These 3 are key to my usual workflows.

Good question @cara_jacqueline ! I'll say : 1. Real-Time Editing and Collaboration: The ability for multiple contributors to edit documents simultaneously and view changes as they happen. 2. Version Control/Modification History: A comprehensive version history that tracks and records all changes made to the document, allowing users to revert to earlier versions if needed. 3. Commenting and Feedback Tools: Features that enable users to leave comments, feedback, and annotations directly on the document for effective communication and review.

@sam_drissi these are great points, thanks for sharing! How do you typically use version control / modification history? Is it common to revert to previous versions or more helpful for auditing?

What matters to me: - Real-time editing and collaboration - The possibility of parallel translation, as the team speaks different languages, so edits and comments in a document may be written in languages other than English.

@lapwork parallel translation is a very interesting need! How do you make translation work in collaboration today?

@cara_jacqueline At this stage, there are several people in the team who speak several languages, or we use translation apps. But this is not convenient and takes time.

I will be looking for a few core features apart from friendly UI. Real-time Collaboration: Multiple users can work on the same document simultaneously, seeing changes in real-time. Version Control: A robust version control system to track changes, revert to previous versions if necessary, and maintain a history of edits made by different collaborators. User Permissions: Granular control over user permissions, allowing administrators to specify who can view, edit, comment, or share documents, ensuring data security and control. Commenting and Feedback: Enabling collaborators to provide suggestions, ask questions, and resolve issues Document Organization: Options for organizing documents into folders, categories, or projects, making it easy to navigate and manage large sets of documents. Search Functionality: Robust search capabilities to quickly locate specific documents, sections, or information within the documentation You can try Document360 2.0
