[nabs-l] Quick help with Google docs

[Cindy Bennett]

I'm not sure what is going on exactly. I personally have never
experienced the problem. It is true though that the "conflicted copy"
thing is annoying. People cannot work on documents at the same time,
and when they do, if you do not make sure to transfer all of the new
data from the conflicted copy to the parent copy, you can end up
inadvertently losing information.

Also, my lab has always used Google docs, so I would prefer to use the
same system as my colleagues.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Cindy
