Create new documents
If you know you are going to collaborate on a document before you start work on the document, you can create it from scratch in Google Docs. Once you have created a new document, you can add content and name the document as required.

Name a document
Once you've created your document, and before you start adding text, it’s good practice to set a name for the file, so that it isn’t saved as "Untitled" or the text you enter onto the first page or title slide.
