1 Choose compatible formats

When you create or edit a document, you should consider the format that you will use to share it with others. Some formats are more widely compatible than others, meaning that they can be opened and viewed by different software applications without losing formatting or functionality. For example, PDF files are usually compatible with most devices and platforms, but they may not be editable unless you have a specific tool. On the other hand, DOCX files are editable by most word processors, but they may not preserve the layout or features of the original document. Choose the format that suits your purpose and audience, and inform them of any requirements or limitations.

This could be helpful but often times, it isn’t the case as most employers have their own standard practice of which file extension they prefer for said communication. The work around would be to ask the employer to see if they are receptive to making changes to how you can present the information. Also, the best format is a .doc since most companies aren’t updated to the latest version of files.

Though PDF files are becoming more common as the standard, it's still difficult to find and use credible PDF-editors that aren't behind a paywall. Whether you're a student or an employee, you can always ask the person who sent you the file if it's possible to have an editable version.

It's important to see where the software is implemented. Meaning, if your intended use is in the field such as healthcare related, it needs to express the patients needs as well as meet coding criteria and don't forget the nurses user friendly point of view.

To collaborate with other clerical staff or clients using software applications, use shared platforms like Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 for document sharing and real-time editing. Communicate via messaging apps or email for quick updates. Set permissions to control access levels. Schedule virtual meetings using video conferencing tools. Keep everyone informed with a central calendar or project management tool. Document decisions and action items for clear follow-up.

2 Use online collaboration tools

Another way to collaborate and share documents with others is to use online collaboration tools that allow you to access, edit, and comment on documents from any device with an internet connection. These tools can be part of a software suite, such as Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, or standalone applications such as Dropbox or Slack. Online collaboration tools can help you keep track of changes, manage versions, and control permissions. Use online collaboration tools that are secure, reliable, and easy to use, and follow the guidelines and policies of your organization or client.

Allowing editing, suggesting, and commenting access tools when sharing documents is a great way to encourage collaboration on papers and project planning.

3 Communicate clearly and respectfully

When you collaborate and share documents with others, communicate clearly and respectfully to avoid misunderstandings, conflicts, or delays. Use appropriate channels and methods to communicate — such as email, phone, or chat — and follow the etiquette and tone of each medium. Make sure to use clear and concise language, avoid jargon or slang, and proofread your messages before sending them. Respect the privacy and confidentiality of others and ask for permission before sharing or accessing their documents.

4 Organize and back up your documents

Organize and back up your documents to ensure that you can find, retrieve, and restore them when needed. Create a logical and consistent system to name, label, and store your documents, and follow the standards and conventions of your organization or client. Back up your documents regularly and securely using external devices or cloud services, and test your backups to make sure they work. Delete or archive any documents that are no longer needed or relevant, and comply with the retention and disposal policies of your organization or client.
