Suggest edits

You can also propose changes directly in the document without editing the text by suggesting an edit. Your suggestions won’t change the original text until the document owner approves them. You must have edit or comment access to the document to suggest changes.

  1. In the top corner, make sure you’re in Suggesting mode, which may also appear as .
  2. To suggest an edit, simply begin typing where you think the edit should be made in the document. Your suggestions appear in a new color, and text you mark to delete or replace is crossed out (but not actually deleted until the document owner approves the suggestion).
  3. The document’s owner will receive an email with your suggestions. When they click any suggestion, they can Accept or Reject it.
