In a marketing firm, team members are working on a project that requires them to regularly update and share a promotional strategy document. Which application feature should they use to allow multiple people to edit and view the latest version of the document simultaneously, without the need to send individual copies via email after each change?
Create multiple copies of the document on a shared network drive for each team member to work on separately.
Use a cloud-based document sharing platform where the document can be stored, updated, and accessed by all team members.
Assign one team member to collect individual contributions and email the updated document to the group at the end of each day.
Save the document on a local storage and inform team members to update it one by one.
Cloud-based document sharing platforms provide a centralized location for documents that can be accessed and edited by multiple users in real-time, ensuring that everyone has the most up-to-date version. This eliminates the hassle of sending updated files after each change and keeps the team in sync. Using local storage would not allow real-time collaboration, as each user would have to update and share the file separately. Emailing the document after each change would be inefficient and could lead to confusion over which version is the most current.
