# Create a Google Doc, share it & edit together > Create a document in Google Docs, share it with colleagues, and work on it together with comments, action items and suggested edits. > > Source: https://docs.officeniaga.com/docs-create-share-edit/ Google Docs is a word processor that runs in your browser. Many people can work on the same document at the same time, and every change is saved automatically. ## Create a document Start a new document from the Docs home screen or from Google Drive. 1. Go to [docs.google.com](https://docs.google.com) and click the blank page under **Start a new document**. In [Google Drive](https://drive.google.com), you can also click **New** > **Google Docs**. 2. Click **Untitled document** at the top left, type a name and press **Enter**. 3. Start typing. You see **Saved to Drive** at the top once your changes are saved. The document is stored in **My Drive**. To keep it with your team's files, move it to a [shared drive](/drive-shared-drives/). ## Share the document Share with named colleagues so only they can open it. The [Drive sharing guide](/drive-share/) explains each option in detail. 1. Click **Share** at the top right. 2. Type names or email addresses in **Add people, groups, spaces, and calendar events**. 3. Choose **Viewer**, **Commenter** or **Editor**. 4. Click **Send**. Everyone you add as an Editor can type in the document at the same time as you. You see a coloured cursor with each person's name as they work. ## Add a comment Comments are for questions and notes that should not change the text itself. 1. Select the text you want to comment on. 2. Click **Add comment** (or press **Ctrl + Alt + M**). 3. Type your comment and click **Comment**. To get a colleague's attention, type **@** and their name in the comment. They get an email with your comment. To make it a task, tick **Assign to** (their name) and click **Assign**. The person can click **Done** on the comment when the task is finished. When a discussion is finished, click the tick at the top of the comment (**Mark as resolved**). Click **Show all comments** at the top right to see resolved comments again. ## Suggest edits instead of changing the text Suggesting mode works like Track Changes in Word. The owner sees each change and decides whether to keep it. 1. Click the pencil button at the top right that shows **Editing**. 2. Choose one of these modes: - **Editing**: change the document directly. - **Suggesting**: your edits become suggestions in a different colour, and deleted text is crossed out. - **Viewing**: read or print the final document without changing it. 3. Make your changes. The owner gets an email about your suggestions. ## Accept or reject suggestions Only the owner and Editors can accept suggestions, one at a time or all at once. 1. Click a suggestion in the margin. 2. Click the tick to accept it or the cross to reject it. 3. To handle all of them together, click **Tools** > **Review suggested edits**, then **Accept all** or **Reject all**. If you open a Word file that has tracked changes, they appear as suggestions in Google Docs. See [open Word files in Google Docs](/docs-word-pdf/). To draft or rewrite text with AI, see [Gemini in Google Docs](/gemini-docs/). ## Still stuck WhatsApp our support team at [+60 16-916 3324](https://wa.me/60169163324). ## Common issues ### Where is the Save button? There is none. Google Docs saves every change as you type. At the top you see Saved to Drive when your work is safe. To keep a copy of the document as it is now, use File > Version history > Name current version. ### I can only view the document. How do I edit it? The owner shared it with you as a Viewer. Click Request edit access if you see it, or ask the owner to change you to Commenter or Editor. With Commenter access you can still suggest edits. ### Can I accept suggestions made by someone else? Yes, if you are an Editor or the owner. Click the tick on the suggestion to accept it or the cross to reject it. People with Commenter access can make suggestions but cannot accept them.
