*We are currently experimenting with this*

New design documents should be created as Google Drive documents.  They should be placed into the shared folder "HTCondor Design Documents."  If you don't have edit access, contact someone who does to get added.

You can {link: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BzI9lgnIwjpLaXFwOTRKTTlsanM&usp=sharing#list browse existing design documents}.


{section: How to log in}
1: If you want to simultaneously be logged into a personal account, _do so first_.  If you use the UW login first, it is difficult to later log into your personal account.
2: https://apps.google.wisc.edu/ - Log in as usual.
3: If you logged into a personal account first, going to Google addresses will be your personal account; but following links from the UW login will be your UW account.

(You can log in from any Google login page; just omit your password when you click "Sign In" to be taken to the UW's login page. This doesn't work if you're already logged into a personal account.)


{section: Working Offline}
If you want to be able to read or edit documents while not online, you will need to use Google Chrome and {link: https://kb.wisc.edu/googleapps/page.php?id=31141 enable offline mode}.  You should only edit documents offline if you are reasonably sure that you are the only editor; Google does silent merges which can lose data with no history about the lost data!  Adding comments offline should be safe.


{section: Secret documents}

You probably don't need a secret document.  Really, you probably don't.  But just in case...

If you place a document into a folder, permissions granted by the folder will be added to the document.  Even if you carefully remove people from the document after adding it to the folder, new people will be added to the folder will be added to your document.  This means you should _never move a "secret" document into the shared folder_.
