I’m loving the new suggesting mode because it supports my goals as a teacher. Users with commenting privileges are in suggesting mode by default. If the other collaborator has editing privileges, they will have to switch to collaborating mode. When sharing a document with a collaborator, students have the option to allow the collaborator to edit or comment on the document. The comment function, which isn’t new, still allows editors to give more general feedback. Deleting text in suggesting mode A green underline indicates text that has been added.
Take a look at the images below to see what that looks like. If a collaborator deletes a line of text in suggesting mode, Google strikes through the text then gives the owner the option to approve the edit, disapprove the edit, or comment on it. For those familiar with Microsoft Word’s track changes function, it’s basically the same thing. So you can imagine how surprised and delighted I was when one of my editors suggested that we scrap all of that for Google Drive’s new “suggesting mode,” one of the changes made in the latest update. We summarized the system a while ago on the site. In the past, we used a pretty complicated solution to work around a pretty simple problem: Google documents were built to collaboratively edit documents, but we needed to make suggestions - that all editors could see - and have one person (the writer) change them. I was having a meeting of the minds with my editors this summer, and the topic of our editing system came up as an area for potential revision.
