Copywriters using Google Docs vs Workfront Proof

[DonnaBr4]

The last conversation I could find on this subject was 4 yrs ago and was wondering if there are new insights or rational POV to convince copywriters to use WF Proof over Google Docs.

Would love to know if there is a team that would mind sharing their process where they have found success or even a middle ground?

This is the feedback I received today..."PDF proofs that save to WF are very cumbersome for copy conversations that happen PRIOR to approval stage. They also result in multiple documents not associated with the working file, which has caused comments to fall through the cracks.".  

I've tried using the argument that these "conversations" are still historical data that needs to be captured in the proof, but I"m losing the battle!

Do you use Adobe InCopy?  I don't mean to suggest Adobe products (I don't work for Adobe) but your use case sounds exactly what InCopy was designed to address.

InCopy lets copywriters and editors style text, track changes, and make simple layout modifications to a document while designers work on the same document simultaneously in Adobe InDesign — all without overwriting each other’s contributions.
