They can use it from writers, journalists, or group work. It is not a word processor to use, but it gives us some very special additional functions.

We do not have to install anything on the computer to use it. We simply have to create an account and thus be able to access, which makes it very easy to access wherever we are. It is a good option to work on texts or drafts. We can have someone else read it and propose changes.
