It's similar to Microsoft Word but runs completely in your web browser, with powerful sharing and collaboration features built in.

How to Access Google Docs

Option 1: Using a Browser

Option 2: Through Google Drive

All changes save automatically.

In your open document, click the blue “Share” button (top-right corner).
In the window that pops up, under “Add people and groups”:
- Enter the email addresses of people you want to share with.
Set their permissions (see next section).
Click Send to share it directly.

Alternatively, click “Copy link” and adjust permissions before sending the link via email, chat, or text.

When sharing, you can give people these types of permissions:

Access Level - What They Can Do

Viewer - View the doc, but cannot comment or edit

Commenter - View and leave comments, but cannot edit text

Editor - View, comment, and edit content

You can set this access for each person or for anyone with the link.

Click the Share button.
Look under People with access – next to each person’s name, you’ll see:
- Viewer
- Commenter
- Editor

You can click the dropdown next to their name to change their access at any time.

You can also see live editing if someone is actively in the document — their name will appear at the top and their cursor in the document.
