Collaborative editing

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Collaborative editing is the process of multiple people editing the same document simultaneously. This technique may engage expertise from different disciplines, and potentially improve the quality of documents and increase productivity.[1]

Good choices in group awareness, participation and coordination are critical to successful collaborative writing outcomes.[2] The typing might be organized by dividing the writing into sub-tasks assigned to each group member, with the first part of the tasks done before the next parts, or they might work together on each task.[3][4] The writing is planned, written, and revised, and more than one person is involved in at least one of those steps.[5] Usually, discussions about the document's structure and context involve the entire group.[6][7]

Most usually, it is applied to textual documents or programmatic

version control systems.[9] Most word processors are also capable of recording changes; this allows editors to work on the same document while automatically clearly labeling who contributed what changes. New writing environments such as Google Docs
provide collaborative writing/editing functionalities with revision control, synchronous/asynchronous editing.

Online collaboration can be more difficult due to issues such as time zones.[14]
