Customization hacks in Zoho Writer - Part 2
Hey community,
We're back with some more tricks to personalize your documents, save time, and get in the zone when you work in Writer. Check out part 1 of this post if you haven't already. Let's dive right in!
Document ruler units
Imagine you're creating a project proposal that includes detailed page layouts and you need to align images and text boxes accurately. By changing the units from inches to millimeters, you can easily adjust the header, footer, and margins to match your preferred measurements. Learn how.
Comment visibility
If you're working on a document with a team, you might want all collaborators to see your comments. However, if some comments are only relevant to specific team members, you can limit visibility to those individuals. Writer lets you customize who can see your comments, including the following options:
- All collaborators
- Only you
- Custom settings
Email notifications
If you're managing a critical project document and need to stay updated on every change, you can set email notifications for all changes. Alternatively, you can adjust the notification settings if you only need to know when someone comments, or you can disable email notifications entirely if you prefer not to be disturbed by updates. Options include:
- Notify for all changes
- Notify for comments only
- No notifications
You can set these preferences as the default for all future documents to ensure consistent notification settings across your documents. Learn more.
Try these out and let us know if you want to learn more. Comment below about the aspects that you personalize most while writing!
Happy writing!
