# Google Docs

Advantages:

-   Efficiency: Once you’ve added a Google Docs link to emlen, any updates made in Google Docs will automatically reflect in emlen—no need to re-upload the file
-   Collaboration: Share files in edit mode to collaborate with prospects (e.g., on spreadsheets)
-   Better Display: Spreadsheets look better than with Microsoft Excel

3.  Choose role: Viewer, Commenter, or Editor, depending on your prospect’s access needs
4.  Copy the link
5.  Add the link to emlen
