When a policy, procedure or guideline document is revised, these revisions should be made in such a way that preserves links to existing documents and creates a copy of the previous version.

If the original document has an existing revision date, then this date must be updated when revisions are made.

  2. Click the “Share” button to share the original document with others for comments, suggestions or edits.
  3. Make revisions to the text of the original document. If suggestions are used, accept or reject as appropriate. If comments are used, resolve when addressed.
  4. When revisions are done, click on the “Share” button and set all access to “view” only

Switching from Word to Google Docs

google-docs-revisions04

Documents that were originally shared as Word Docs can be converted to Google Docs. Here’s the workflow:

  1. Go to Google Drive on the web (make sure you are accessing Google Drive via your UNC Charlotte user account)
  2. Browse to the Word document to be converted to a Google Doc
  3. Open the Word document, click on “Open with” and chose “Google Docs”

google-docs-revisions05

Updating Web Links

If the Word doc that has been converted to a Google Doc is linked to on the web, all these links will need to be updated to link to the Google version of the document. Most public CLAS administrative documents are linked to on this site and so searching for the document name on this site should locate all the links that need to be updated. In addition, some documents may also be linked to on the main college site.
