-

“Leave feedback on any highlighted text, and mention a teammate in a comment to loop them in. Reply within a thread to keep the conversation together”
-
Docs resolved comments Report an error
“Once a thread’s feedback has been addressed, resolve it to clear it from the active view and reduce clutter. Resolved comments aren’t deleted, and they remain accessible whenever you need to revisit the conversation.”
-
Docs suggestion mode Report an error
“Suggestion Mode lets collaborators propose edits without changing the Doc directly. Changes are color coded: additions in green, deletions in red, and formatting changes in blue. Any editor can enable Suggestion Mode from the dropdown in the top right corner, and suggestions can be reviewed, then accepted or rejected, from the Suggestions panel. By default, Docs open in Editing mode.”
-

“The menu on the left side of the page lets you navigate between Recent, My Docs, All Docs, Following, Templates, Favorites, and Collections.”

“Templates are pre-made structured guides to enable your team to get started quickly. Note, while the template section itself can not be modified, the Templates can be duplicated, edited, and saved under a Collection as needed.”
-
Docs collections Report an error
“Collections are labeled groups for organizing Docs, similar to how an Epic houses Stories. Unlike standard folders, a Doc can belong to multiple Collections at once. For example, a PRD can live in both a PRD Collection and a Product Collection, making it easy to find regardless of who is looking. Collections support Sub-Collections for additional nesting, are visible to everyone in the Workspace, and are sorted alphabetically.”
-
Docs permissions Report an error
“Grant Doc Owners with access control by selecting the dropdown at the top right of the page and choosing between Workspace-wide, Shared with specific teammates, or Private (visible only to you).”
