Simul Docs
Version Control and Collaboration for Microsoft Word.
Overview
Simul Docs is a collaboration and version control tool specifically for Microsoft Word. It automatically creates a new version every time a document is saved, making it easy to see a full history of changes. Users can compare any two versions to see what changed, who changed it, and when, regardless of whether 'Track Changes' was used.
✨ Key Features
- Automatic version creation on save
- Visual comparison of any two versions
- Full version history and audit trail
- Branching and merging for parallel edits
- Integrates directly with Microsoft Word
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Automatic versioning without user intervention
- Advanced features like branching and merging, similar to Git for developers
- Guaranteed comparison accuracy, even if Track Changes was off
Unique Value: Eliminates the chaos of manual version control (e.g., 'Report_v5_final_final.docx') by providing an automated, structured, and easily comparable history for any Word document.

🏆 Alternatives
Offers a much more robust and reliable version history and comparison than the native features in Word or SharePoint, especially when multiple authors are working in parallel.
