Learners can explore how to share documents via e-mail or upload them to OneDrive and Sharepoint to collaborate with other team members, in this 10-video course. Word 2019 allows users to send documents via links, by choosing with whom to share the link and even adjust editing permission; this Word version comes with a chat feature to communicate with others in real time. Before sending a document via link, it must first be saved to OneDrive. Learn how to work collaboratively with multiple people, meaning that changes made by others to your document will be highlighted in your version so you can keep track of any updates. Continue by observing how to use inking tools in Word, with the Draw tab, to add artistic elements to documents; how to use different pens and tools available in this tab; and when you must use either a touch-screen device or a plug-in device allowing use of a stylus. Learn when you should install drivers or perform updates for this to work properly with Word. In order to practice what you have learned, you will find the Word document named Word 2019 for Windows: Sharing & Collaborating on a Document Exercise as well as the associated materials in the Resources section.
