  Commenting on the enhanced features of Google Docs, which has been targeting other enterprise software competitors, Rochelle wrote that “you can now see character-by-character changes as other collaborators make edits. We also added another popular feature from spreadsheets: sidebar chat, so you can discuss documents as you work on them with colleague.”

  For now, the new Google Docs features will be available in preview versions over the next few weeks with no clear details about the actual launch date of the functions.
