Move from Google Docs
Use this migration path when your team writes in GitHub but still reviews in Google Docs.
Common transition pattern
- Keep writing docs in your repository.
- Open PRs for content changes.
- Review in DraftView instead of sharing exported docs.
- Submit suggestions to GitHub PR threads.
Why this works for Google Docs users
- DraftView keeps in-context visual review.
- Reviewers can comment and suggest text edits without reading raw Markdown.
- Teams get lifecycle and sign-off visibility that shared documents do not provide.
External reviewer support
If a stakeholder does not use GitHub, share an external review link and then verify-and-push their feedback.
