Google Docs

Google Docs is an online <a href="/facts/Word_processor/qAR7lagF">word processor</a> and part of the free, web-based <a href="/facts/Google_Docs_Editors/ngxKuY7t">Google Docs Editors</a> suite offered by <a href="/facts/Google/GT9Sugza">Google</a>. Google Docs is accessible via a <a href="/facts/Web_browser/2pfyymLs">web browser</a> as a <a href="/facts/Web_application/BLkF3BIN">web-based application</a> and is also available as a <a href="/facts/Mobile_app/r7vp6meo">mobile app</a> on <a href="/facts/Android_(operating_system)/nNyHb0xz">Android</a> and <a href="/facts/IOS/mK5cggH5">iOS</a> and as a <a href="/facts/Desktop_application/YQuj7Kog">desktop application</a> on Google's <a href="/facts/ChromeOS/zH0B5Xtk">ChromeOS</a>.
Google Docs allows users to create and edit documents online while collaborating with users in real-time. Edits are tracked by the user making the edit, with a revision history presenting changes. An editor's position is highlighted with an editor-specific color and cursor, and a permissions system regulates what users can do. Updates have introduced features using <a href="/facts/Machine_learning/e0w0XJTu">machine learning</a>, including "Explore", offering search results based on the contents of a document, and "Action items", allowing users to assign tasks to other users.
Google Docs supports opening and saving documents in the standard <a href="/facts/OpenDocument/pMtcVuNr">OpenDocument</a> format as well as in <a href="/facts/Rich_text_format/hsVH9Jot">Rich text format</a>, plain <a href="/facts/Unicode/DDu3MfPV">Unicode</a> text, <a href="/facts/ZIP_(file_format)/qDrrYIB9">zipped</a> <a href="/facts/HTML/sSc3fT78">HTML</a>, and <a href="/facts/Microsoft_Word/HPSu5W4j">Microsoft Word</a>. Exporting to <a href="/facts/PDF/C9Mn1vYL">PDF</a> and <a href="/facts/EPUB/5K41t91V">EPUB</a> formats is implemented.
