PublishSquare vs Google Docs

Google Docs is great for general documents. But policies need purpose-built tools with compliance tracking, acknowledgments, and audit trails.

Why Upgrade from Google Docs?

No Compliance Tracking

Google Docs can't track which employees read policies or map content to compliance frameworks. You're flying blind during audits.

No Acknowledgments

How do you prove employees read and accepted policies? Google Drive doesn't capture acknowledgments with timestamps and signatures.

Scattered Documents

Policies end up scattered across folders with no central portal. Employees can't easily find the latest version of policies they need.
