Save your document as a word file or PDF, thats easy. Once you have finished collaborating and you are ready to save and send your document, Simul has all of the features you need to share via whichever tool or source you prefer. This comments feature can also be used in Simul to start an in the document conversation thread, allowing you to type short messages between you collaborating team members about the document (or after-work drinks, there are no limits here) while keeping everything in the same place. On top of that, your colleagues can also leave comments or notes within the document to give you additional information such as ‘once Jane has reviewed this and added her changes I will take another look’. You can quickly review any changes made in that version and accept any you like and decline any that aren’t quite right. Because of the automatic tracked changes feature, it is impossible for any changes to be made in your document without you knowing about it.Įach change made will have an except of decline button sitting next to it, similar to what you see in Microsoft Words track changes feature. It knows that when you open a document and start making changes you probably want them tracked, so Simul tracks changes automatically. Simul was built for Word, with collaboration in mind. To save us all from ourselves and our sometimes sneaky colleagues, you can employ the help of a collaboration tool such as Simul Docs. So, it’s not only your time that is being lost when you honestly forget to turn tracked changes on, but it also becomes a huge risk to your company if you can’t control every edit made, or at least know its there. There are so many things that could go wrong because of this if someone changes a legal document or draft contract agreement and you don’t notice, that could have huge ramifications down the line. An author can quickly jump into your document and make a minor edit without you knowing, because Word will only track the changes you ask it to you may end up progressing on with the document oblivious to the sneaky little change made by your colleague 3 versions ago. The other issue with Microsoft’s tracked changes is also related to an author not turning them on, but this time maybe not by mistake. Some of your changes will be easy to find, it’s the small or ones related to punctuation that are more challenging.
