Google has offered this with its online Google Apps suite, but it’s a feature that Office has lacked until recently. A good example is real-time collaboration, where users can edit a document simultaneously, rather than send it back and forth for updates and other edits. ![]() The new Office suite also addresses general shortcomings with the suite that Microsoft has struggled with, regardless of platform. ![]() OneNote makes its first appearance in a Mac office suite with Office 2016, although it did launch as a standalone Mac app in 2014.
