Getting Started

Google Docs is a Google Apps application that allows you to:

• Create text documents, charts, visual aids, spreadsheets, forms, and presentations and share and publish them online.
• Upload existing documents in other formats.
• Download documents to use with other programs.
• Keep track of all changes in a document and revert back to previous changes if necessary.
• Attach documents to email messages.

You can collaborate on these documents with as many people as you desire, with multiple people able to work on a document together in real-time. Best of all, sharing and collaborating takes only a few seconds to set up.
