Document collaboration – introducing the new look GroupDocs Annotation

As you might have seen from our recent posts, we're working hard to change the look and feel of GroupDocs. We're working on the GroupDocs dashboard and we're making changes to GroupDocs Signature. We hope you'll agree that it is all for the better.

Today, I'm writing about GroupDocs Annotation, a service that makes document collaboration easy. With GroupDocs Annotation you can work on a document with your colleagues, all at the same time. You don't have to be online at the same time, making suggestions and adding comments, but you can be. If you're more comfortable with traditional document collaboration, when everyone takes their turn, that works just as well.

GroupDocs Annotation collects all the document collaboration tools that you need together in one handy place. Here's an overview.

GroupDocs Annotation helps document collaboration

GroupDocs Annotation lets you add comments which show up as markers. Hover the cursor over the marker to see the comment or click a marker sign on the right-hand side to go straight to a comment. (There's a screenshot of how this works in the Work with images or text section below.)

Familiar editing tools

Most people are familiar with basic editing tools. GroupDocs Annotation lets you add comments, that appear as numbered markers, or use other tools to annotate the document. Add a shape to highlight an area or draw freehand directly on the document. To mark text you can highlight or strike out text. You can also add new text sections.

Work with images or text

All kinds of documents need to be discussed, not just text-based ones. With GroupDocs Annotation you can as easily annotate an image as a Microsoft Word document.
