Comments in Google documents
Comments are most useful when you leave them for others to review. You can easily target your
comments at particular people, respond to comments from within email, and easily keep track of the
comments people leave in your document without having to continuously return to the document.
You can add a comment to a section of text, a table, or an image embedded in your Google
document, spreadsheet, or presentation.
1. Highlight the item you’d like to comment on.
2. Go to the Insert menu, and select Comment. You can also use the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+M (PC) or
Cmd+Alt+M (Mac) to insert a comment.
3. Click Comment to add it to the document for your collaborators to see.

Google Site Page Templates

Web page
A web page is the simplest kind of page; you can write content, embed gadgets, and arrange it
however you like. The web page has standard formatting controls like bold, italic, and underline,
bullets, and more. You can attach documents from your hard drive to the bottom of the page, and you
can let other site collaborators comment on your pages. Google Sites periodically saves versions of
your page as you make edits, so it’s easy to go back to earlier versions of the page to make
comparisons or undo changes.
Announcements
Much like a blog, announcement pages display posts you make to the page in chronological order,
starting with the most recent. For example, an announcement page would be great for keeping a record
of weekly meeting notes, while providing quick access to the most recent meeting info.
File cabinet
File cabinet pages let you store and organize files from your computer’s hard drive, making it an easy
way to share files with other users of your site. Anyone subscribed to the page will be notified when
files are added, changed, or removed.
List page
List pages let you make and organize lists of information. Items on the list are easy to add, edit, and
remove, and viewers of the list can sort it by any column. Like the file cabinet page, subscribers are
notified when items are added, changed, or removed.
