Simul will keep track of every, single version your team creates. It sounds simple, and it is, but it is something that makes a huge difference when collaborating in Word. Open a document, start making changes and Simul will begin tracking them.

Simul Docs was built to ensure you never forget to turn on tracked changes again, in fact, Simul will track your changes automatically. Luckily, there are some new purpose built tools on the market that were built with seamless collaboration in mind. It’s painful and time-consuming and happens to the majority of people collaborating in Word. So you are forced to start all over again. With no tracked changes, there is no way of knowing what edits you made, to then re-do them or highlight them for your manager. You also forgot to turn on tracked changes when you made your edits (don’t worry, you’re not alone, most of us do this monthly). Without realising it you have accidentally saved your find in the wrong spot, making it near impossible to source later. Where do you save the document? Does this live deep in your company shared drive somewhere, under Client>2020>reports>Q3Report>Draft>Final? Your guess is as good as anyone else’s, so you save it here hoping that’s the right spot and move on. You start reading the text, making some edits, add a few comments and then press save. When it’s your turn to review and edit a shared Word Document you usually received an email in your inbox ‘for your review’, you open the email, click the attachment and a Word Document pops up. Some more than others, some may even collaborate daily, which is why collaborating with ease is so important. Looking for a simple solution to your collaboration problems?Ĭollaborating together in a Microsoft Word document is something most of us will do during our working careers. We always suggest pulling the information out of your footer and into the document body before selecting your new style of footer to avoid loosing any text or images. If you are updating the style of your footer, some of the information in your current footer may be lost.
