Google Docs is a word processor you use in your web browser to write, edit, and share documents online. Unlike software you install on your computer, it lives in the cloud—your work saves automatically and you can access it from any device with internet. This category covers what Google Docs actually does, how it compares to other writing tools, and which situations make it the right choice for your needs.

The articles here answer practical questions: How do you set up and use the basic features? What happens when you share a document with others, and how do permissions work? When should you use Google Docs instead of Microsoft Word or a desktop program? What are the limits—file types it handles, offline capabilities, and situations where another tool might work better? You'll learn how to decide whether Google Docs fits your workflow.
