Looking for an easier way to collaborate on Word Documents?

You’ve created a word document and need to collaborate on it with others. You add comments, make edits and end up saving multiple versions. After emailing the document back and forward between your colleagues so many times, you have no idea which version is the most recent and if ‘Proposal_final_V6_FINAL2’ really is the final document.

Luckily there are dedicated tools, such as Simul Docs that make version control simple.

Using Simul Docs you can easily upload, share and collaborate on Microsoft Word Documents.

Heres how:

1. Get started at simuldocs.com
2. Upload your Word document to Simul.
   • Simul will automatically assign Version 0.0.1 to your document
3. Invite your colleagues to collaborate on the document.
4. Your colleague opens the doc and makes his changes.
   • Simul automatically creates Version 0.0.2 and shows you the changes made, even if Track Changes wasn’t turned on.
5. Finalise and publish the final version.

The coolest part about Simul is you won’t lose any old versions or edits along the way. Simul saves each version in an easy to navigate toolbar so you can refer back to an old version or changes with ease.
