Five for Drive: Tips for Creating and Editing in Google Drive
Thursday, November 15, 2012
Editor’s note: In November, we’re sharing tips on how your business can get the most out of Google Drive. Our second post features 5 ways you can create, edit, and enhance your files. Previously we’ve featured
Google Drive basics
. Check back next week for tips on the many ways you can share and collaborate on the documents in your Drive.
Businesses looking for pointers on documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and more, keep reading! This week, we’re sharing 5 tips on how you can use
Google Drive
to create and edit the documents you need to keep your business running smoothly.
To
create a new document
in Google Drive, simply hit the ‘Create’ button to choose which type of file you’d like. To collaborate on your business’s existing documents like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files, you can
upload
them to Google Drive for easy editing and sharing.
Use a template
to create the specific types of documents your business may need, such as letterheads, sales presentations, inventory trackers, or customer feedback forms. Browse the
template gallery
to find examples best suited for your business.
Make your presentations more compelling by
embedding YouTube videos
into your slides. You can play the video from directly within the file as long as you have an internet connection.
View the
revision history
of your document, spreadsheet, or presentation to see the changes made by you and any other collaborators. You can also
revert to earlier versions
of a file and see edits made to any of these versions.
Use other apps in Drive, such as
Forms
,
Drawings
, and
Fusion Tables
. You can also download
third-party apps
from the
Chrome Web Store
that allow you edit images and videos, fax and sign documents, manage products, create flow charts, and more.
