How To See Who Has Viewed A Google Doc
As a great way to work together, Google Docs lets many people edit and work on the same text at the same time, so no one loses track of the changes that each person made. After all, if you or your company use Google Docs, it can be helpful to know who looked at what document and when. It is necessary to be able to see who did what and when in order to make sure that everyone reads a draft, the terms, and conditions, your most recent entry, the policies and procedures, or any other important document.
