Organizing a group edit of a single document

I have been testing zoho for possible use with group edits to a single document, and am finding the learning process very klugy and time consuming. The help topics are good but tend to be isolated from one another rather than laying out a clear path on how to accomplish a series of steps, i.e., a complete procedure. I understand how to set up a group and to share a document. However, as a group member, I was never able to see the shared document under the explorer tab on my dashboard (although when I searched, I was able to bring it up and edit it).

Can someone send me a document or series of steps that I can tailor to send out to my group, providing a comprehensive guide to: setting up their accounts, accessing a shared document, editing the document, saving it on a local drive (if necessary), uploading the edited file (again, if necessary), caveats about and instructions for check-in and check-out (if this is supposed to be viewable by group members other than the moderator), and then seeing the revision sequence to know and understand what has taken place?

Thanks, David
