Yes, you can collaborate with others on a document, just like Docs, which means you can comment, contribute together, and write together in real time. It's also easier to track and see changes in Zoho Writer than it is in Docs. You can publish to a Wordpress blog. Seriously I would need to write a blog post to over Zoho Writer's features than Docs can't match, but here's a few that I like and use: Templating (any doc you create can become a template for new docs); built-in mail merge; electronic signatures, importing documents from other cloud drives; saving to other cloud drives; per document offline mode; exporting as epub, open document (or Word, of course); a well-designed interface with color icons; personal dictionary; Quick Text (autotype of sorts); built-in thesaurus; endnotes and footnotes; table of contents; extensive formatting and printing tools.... OK, I'll stop. The feature list is extensive. If there's something Zoho Writer lacks, I haven't noticed it yet. > > **Cons**: It runs a little slow on underpowered machines, like the Chromebook I'm writing on now. Also, it wasn't immediately apparent how to turn off seeing and tracking changes. ----- ### "Wonderful Free Product" — 5.0/5 > **Tejas** | *2 January 2024* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Zoho writer is an excellent, completely free document editor with an elegant design and awesome export options. > > **Cons**: I have only found three small issues with Zoho writer: 1) Onboarding within the Android app is slow and often crashes the app 2) Copy Paste from other apps is slightly strange and loses all formatting, including paragraph breaks. 3) There is no markdown support > > I use it because of its simplicity and the fact that sharing and downloading your document in multiple formats is much easier than with Google Docs or Microsoft Word on Android. ----- ### "Nothing new under the sun" — 3.0/5 > **Davide** | *14 May 2024* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software works well, nothing to say about it, but it have really anything more than google docs? > > **Cons**: it's expensive and do nothing significant more than free alternatives ----- ### "Zoho Writer: Simple Collaboration Tool to Achieve Goals" — 5.0/5 > **Ankush** | *4 July 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Zoho Writer is an awesome document processing tool which help users to collaborate and edit simultaneously. Following are the key features of Zoho Writer: 1. Helps in working remotely 2. Enables users to add comments 3. Emojis are available 4. Marking chapters and separators in the document 5. Template for various purposes > > **Cons**: There is nothing to dislike about Zoho Writer. New features are coming in to compete with the MS office products. A very well tool to replace Google Docs. > > Zoho Writer is part of Zoho Suite. Zoho Writer is user friendly and easy to use tool which can resolve almost all the challenges faced during document processing. Affordable and recommended. ----- ### "Completely customisable and easy to use" — 4.0/5 > **Rashmi** | *15 June 2022* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The way we can create our own template for all our future documents and how it is so easy to directly publish WordPress blogs makes it much better when compared to its competitors. > > **Cons**: Well, it's free software with so many features and there is hardly anything I dislike about it. Just that it sometimes gets stuck\! > > It is completely amazing, I love working on Zoho writer and my whole team can simultaneously have a look at my work and edit it. Also, the tracking feature is great. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/395489/zoho-writer?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/395489/zoho-writer) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
