If you have ever tried to edit a spreadsheet file via email between one or more people, you know how frustrating and tedious it can be. You will have to make changes, track changes, forward the file, accept changes, email back, revise, upgrade to the latest version, share the updated version, etc., just to work on and share a document. The real-time collaboration feature in Google Sheets eliminates this tiresome experience.
This feature is new, but what does it do? Let's find out more about this feature in this article.
