Google Docsis one of the most popular real-time, cloud-based collaboration tools used. For content management, WordPress has been the dominantCMS tool. However, WordPress previously prevented users from editing together with colleagues. Also, the tool required users to manually transfer text from a word processor to the CMS. Now, that practice has changed with the release of a new WordPress.com add-on for Chrome that lets users write, edit, and collaborate in Google Docs before publishing a draft.

How it works

For writers and bloggers who use WordPress to publish stories, the tool should come in handy thanks to the integration of Google Docs’ formatting options in the CMS tool. WordPress’s George Hotelling how the add-on works:

The add-on is available for any WordPress.org website equipped with the Jetpack plugin. For site administrators, it comes with a sidebar where you can monitor all authorized sites and collaborators. The add-on generates a preview link for a draft once you save a piece. This lets you check how your draft appears online when published.

Automattic, the parent company of WordPress, has open-sourced the add-on onGitHubwhere the code for the tool is available to browse.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
