The document editor now offers real-time experience, which means that you can view character-by-character changes as collaborators make edits. Also new to the document editor is sidebar chat, which was previously available in the spreadsheet editor.<\/p>\n<p>New features in spreadsheet editor include formula bar for cell editing, auto-complete, drag and drop columns, and simpler navigation between sheets.<\/p>\n<p>Google has also launched a collaborative drawing editor. Don&#8217;t be misled by its name, Google isn&#8217;t trying to compete with MS Paint.
