Docs
Docs are collaborative documents that members of a course, project, or club can create, edit, and comment on. Unlike Files, which can only be uploaded and downloaded, not edited, Docs are helpful for creating course wikis and other collective projects.
In order to start create, edit, or comment on a doc, you need to first be logged into your account on the OpenLab.
