Are you an avid user of Google Docs? Easily embed Google Docs inside a document as an iframe in 5 simple steps! Read on…

Google Docs was one of the first cloud-based document editors. Along with Google Docs, Google offers productivity tools around spreadsheets, and presentations to get work done.

However, a lot has changed in the world of technology in the past decade, since Google Docs came into the picture.

When Google started offering real-time document editing and collaboration, it was a game-changer for a lot of remote teams who previously collaborated on work using a long chain of emails. Google solved the problem of lost information stuck in email attachments.

However, today’s fast-paced, digitally inclined systems we incorporate in our daily lives need to be versatile, robust and should not only match our digital workflow but also surpass it for added efficiency. That is why we created Bit, the collaboration tool everyone expects in our digital world.

 

An introduction to Bit: The Future Of Documents!

Bit is a new-age cloud-based document collaboration tool that helps teams collaborate on documents, track documents, and manage content all in one place.

Bit is unique and will change the way you and your team think about collaborating and sharing information with your colleagues.

Bit’s platform helps you create documents of the future. Instead of relying on plain text and images to communicate, Bit helps you add rich media like YouTube videos, Google Docs, One Drive Excel Spreadsheets, GIFs, Tweets, and much more. Basically, anything on the internet with a link can be shared and Bit will automatically turn it into visual interactive content.

Bit allows teams to create workplace documents like- project proposals, sales decks, training documents, how-to guides, company policies, process documentation, media kits, fact sheets, competitive research, case studies, e-books, etc. and provides a safe and robust place to store these documents.

If you want to send these documents to external partners, clients, customers or prospects, you can even track them to get intelligent engagement insights.
