Publisher's Review
A new way to work brought to you by Google Workspace!
Reduce unnecessary time and increase performance!


How do high-performing people work? While previously, they would have contacted each person individually via email or messenger to obtain permission, high-performing people use Google Calendar to set meeting dates, times, and locations in real time.
After confirming whether or not the participant will attend the meeting, the participant can mark the meeting on their calendar.

Likewise, people who are good at their jobs differ in the way they convene and conduct meetings.
Now, improve your work skills by 200% with this book.

“What is the most efficient way to report work online?”
- Experience the power of collective intelligence with Google Collaboration Tools: Docs, Spreadsheets, and Presentations.


Since the pandemic, the number of people working from home or remotely has increased.
Google Docs, Presentations, and Spreadsheets allow you to freely share and collaborate with your team members.
This book covers the various features that enable you to use three collaboration tools effectively.
Learn how to grant editing permissions in Google Docs so others can edit in real time, or limit them to comments only.

In 'Google Docs', you can grant editing permission to allow users to create documents directly, or you can set it to allow users to leave comments or suggestions.
If you have a lot to present, try using Google Presentations.
As long as you have an internet connection, you can easily access your presentation materials anytime, anywhere. There's no need to carry a USB drive, worry about fonts being installed, or whether videos will play properly.

Additionally, while Google Spreadsheets is similar to Excel, it also offers features that Excel doesn't.
For example, there is a function to directly import Internet materials.
By entering a simple function, you can retrieve and collate Internet data in real time, and use it in various ways, such as creating presentation materials.

"Where are the old files stored? Should I stop by the office and get them?"
Google Drive: The Secret of the Man Who Never Fumbles


All materials you work on in Google are automatically uploaded to 'Google Drive' and saved automatically without you having to press a separate save button.
Each time you make a modification, a version is recorded and you can revert to a previous version, so you can work anytime, anywhere as long as you have an internet connection.
And it's free to use too!

We need a new way of working that fits the mobile age.
Learn how to work smarter with this book!

It offers convenient features that are incomparable to paper diaries, allowing you to immediately save text, images, and even internet news.
