How to track your documents

If you've ever tried to track changes made by different people on a Word document, you'll realize the potential of TitanPad (www.titanpad.com). TitanPad is an online document editor which several people can work on simultaneously.

Rather than the confusing strike throughs , squiggles and comments that you'll see on a tracked MS Word document on a TitanPad page changes are highlighted in different colors each person who makes changes gets a different color for easy identification. No one needs to sign up, just open the website and create a Pad of your own.

You can import text from a text file, Word document, RTF file or HTML file otherwise just start typing from scratch new document. This document will be given a new color. Each Pad will have a unique URL which you can share to invite others. Anyone who joins can write their name and they'll automatically get assigned a color.

Other cool features include an infinite undo (using the Ctrl + Z shortcut or a toolbar button), a time slider (that shows you the time and date of each revision) and a full screen mode.

Finally, once the document is ready now you can download (exported) either as a Word file, HTML file, PDF, plain text or an open document. Now if anyone uses your document it can be traced easily.
