[edit] Document Collaboration
We liked the group collaboration tools built into Google Docs, which made it easy for us to create documents with basic formatting while keeping track of the comments, changes and associated message threads of the team members with whom we collaborated.
Communication is a big part of the collaborative experience in Google Apps, and Google Mail is the cornerstone of communication in Google Apps. Users of Gmail will already be familiar with collapsed threads, where messages on a particular discussion are collapsed onto a single line in the Mail interface. We could select and expand these threads to see the entire conversation in order. Even more than the space-saving characteristics of collapsed threading, we liked having all messages neatly together.
