Draft: the best text collaboration and version control service

If you know what collaborative work on texts is, then most likely you know about the problems associated with such work. Most people collaborate on texts in GoogleDocs. You write text and give access to other people. What happens next? Then your colleagues make changes to the text, but you don't see them. If you use the Draft service, then all the changes will be made by colleagues on their own copies of the document, and you will approve any of the changes made or reject them. At the same time, you will clearly see in which places there are changes and who made them. It looks like this:

It is very easy to register on the service and also just share the link to the document with your colleagues. To register, you just need to write your email and password. And you can get started right away.

When you click on the house icon in the upper left corner, you will see the main menu.

Here you can share your document with colleagues.

Or, ask the professionals for advice by clicking on the Ask pro button. True, I think this option is only suitable for English texts.

So, if you are working together on one text, distributing links to it to colleagues, then it will be extremely easy for you to ignore these edits, accept them or combine them - everything is very clear.

Helps you find your old texts

With iCloud and Google Docs, it is quite difficult to search for previous versions of your texts. How do you find an old version of a project that you deleted and now want to revert to?

In Draft, as you progress on your document, you can save versions so you can revisit them later.

If you suddenly want to see how your document has changed over time, you have a powerful tool in your hands to do it.

Working with popular cloud services

Draft allows you to import documents from popular cloud services such as Dropbox, Evernote, Box, Google Drive.

Use Draft to edit documents, share with colleagues or friends, and manage their edits. Everything you do with the imported document will be synced to the cloud account from where you imported the doc.

For example, if you imported a document from Evernote and then used Draft to complete it, you will always receive a copy of the edited document back into your Evernote account.

This is just a small part of what you can do with Draft. I recommend this service to all writing teams, and it's free.
