Dashboard

Writer's new dashboard is a one-stop place to view all of your documents and templates. To access it, go to writer.zoho.com from your browser.

Creating and Managing

Start from scratch by creating a new blank document. You can type right away and not worry about saving your document. All the documents created are automatically saved with instant access across devices. You can also create a new document from the available templates or import an existing document from your desktop and start editing it.

Editing and Formatting

Once you have a document open, you can edit and change how it looks. Start by renaming your document. Use Writer's smart editing tools to change text and paragraph styles, insert images, shapes, textboxes, tables, symbols, equations and much more.

Sharing and Collaboration

Share files with an individual or a group of people while retaining the control of your document. In addition to sharing documents, you can also work collaboratively with multiple users and edit your files in real-time. 

Review and Revising

Review together in real-time, chat within the document, and get feedback using comments and suggestions. The Review tab in Writer helps to navigate through your document, do spell check, find and replace text, manage comments, and so on.

Proof Reading and Copy Editing

Zia, Zoho's new intelligent assistant is designed to help you write better. Zia detects the most common grammar errors, including incorrect verbs, nouns, pronouns, prepositions, articles, punctuation and so on. Zia suggests accurate corrections, allowing you to improve the content quality significantly.

Publishing and Distribution

Writer's document distribution features make it more than just a word-processor. You can publish your document within your industry or on the web directly, post to blog, send as a mail copy, download or print them, or just make a copy of your document. Writer also allows making your documents available for others publicly without sharing to their individual email address.

Automation and Assembly

Zoho Writer includes powerful document automation tools that help you streamline workflows, reduce manual effort, and save time. You can create proposals and letters, automatically generate documents using merge templates, build fillable forms to collect structured data, and set up digital sign workflows to complete agreements faster. You can also publish documents online, schedule posts to WordPress, and manage the entire document lifecycle from a single place.
