Google Docs is adding a ‘Show Editors' option to easily keep track of who is making what changes in a shared document. The new feature will allow users to select part of the text in a document and see who edited it. This will make it easier to track edits when multiple collaborators are working on a single document. Google is rolling out the update in two phases. Accounts that opted to be in the Rapid Release domain can already see the changes, while Gradual Release domain accounts started receiving it gradually from May 3. The latter will see the effects on their Google Docs versions in about 15 days.
