To link documents in Google Docs for collaboration, you can use the "Insert" menu. From there, select "Link" and then choose the document you want to link to.
You can link to any Google Doc, even if it's shared with you by someone else. This is especially useful for team projects where multiple people are working on different documents.
To link to a specific page in a document, use the "Page ID" feature. This allows you to link directly to a specific section of a document, making it easier for others to find the information they need.
For example, if you're working on a project with a team, you can link to a shared document that outlines the project's goals and objectives.

Creating Links
Creating links in Google Docs is a breeze. You can create a direct download link by replacing "/edit" or "/edit?usp=sharing" at the end of the URL with "/export?format=docx".
To create a share link, click "share" and change the access to "anyone with the link can view". This will give you a basic share link, but if you want to prompt the viewer to make a copy, you'll need to delete the text in the URL after the last backslash and replace it with "copy".
Alternatively, you can make a copy share link by changing the URL from "edit" to "copy" after the backslash. This will prompt the viewer to make a copy of the document onto their Google Drive.
