#ProTip: "Suggested edits" in #GoogleDocs is a bit of a mess, but you can tell #GDocs to let you preview the doc as if those edits were all accepted. Go to:
Tools -> Review suggested edits
Then in the "Suggested edits" dialog that pops up, use the *dropdown menu* to "Preview 'Accept all'" (make sure you use the dropdown and NOT the buttons)
One of the things we definitively need is a good + open collaborative file share and office product.
It's 2024 and still there hardly seems to be any good alternative to #SharePoint, #Google Docs or other #cloud services.
The #EU should publicly fund a project to solve that issue once and for all on an #FOSS basis.
Please, don't mention #CyptPad or #NextCloud to me, I've used both occasionally. They are not something I consider a usable product for the masses.
Apparently there is a swiss company that will introduce collaborative document editing like #gdocs, but, you know, private, and without everyone stealing or reading what you write. They introduce it the next days. #proton #DataSafety
Silly google docs question, but it's driving me nuts: how do I change how contact chips fill?
For example, I'll type in a contact's name, select it, and it will replace the name with their email address instead as the chip. Is there any way to make it so it shows their name instead of email?
draft - In google docs for Android, when we tap this area where it says "untitled document", it's supposed to auto-populate with the first sentence of what we type. However, that doesn't seem to be currently working... Anyone else having this issue ?

draft - there seems to be a bug on google docs for android, where, when you make a new doc, and then click the "untitled doc" area, it does nothing. it's supposed to auto-populate with the first sentence of the document to make it easy to title your docs as you go but it appears to be currently not functioning as expected
anyone else having this issue?

"...Google Chat’s key advantage...is [how it is] built [for] the web and...mobile. All you need is...[a Gmail account]...[which] most people already have...If you want a...dedicated experience, you can...download a standalone app (Android and iOS).
On paper, Google Chat is entirely capable of being anybody’s primary messaging service with a low barrier to entry and complete feature set....

draft -
In Google docs, we can arrange content (text and images) anyway we want, but we can't make individual messages that can be replied to.
In Google chat, individual messages can be replied to, and we can edit the text of messages, but there's not yet a way to edit / add images to sent messages.
I could ask a recipient to go back to Google docs, and/or continue to use docs in addition to Google chat. But, it'd be nice if GoogleChat would add the ability to add images to sent messages.
