== Content Collaboration made easy for WordPress ==

Collaborative publishing in WordPress is not as easy as it is in Google Doc, Office 365, and other content editors. 

The ability to leave "comments & suggestions" for content review is not available in the WordPress Gutenberg editor at this point.

Not having the ability to collaborate using the block editor may even be a deal-breaker for some teams that are considering WordPress.

Content publishers often used Google Docs just for the ability to give inline comments with notifications.
 
Google-Doc Style Editorial Commenting could be useful for organizations where multiple teams need to review content before publishing. 

<strong>This plugin cuts many time-consuming steps out of that process, such as obtaining collaborators’ Gmail addresses, pasting the most recent version of the post into a document, and ultimately having to paste it all back into the editor.</strong>

== 💁 Require Environment ==

<ul>
<li>Latest WordPress (should be 5.X or newer)</li>
<li>Required PHP 5.6 above version</li>
</ul>
