How do you make collaboration easier for remote workers?

Our remote team sometimes works on different versions of the same file, which causes delays. How can we make sure everyone is working on the same document?

When I first managed a remote team, we wasted hours merging changes because people downloaded files and edited them offline. The solution was to switch to a cloud platform where everyone edits the same live document. Any changes are instantly visible to all. I read on https://www.iweee.org/ about how synced file systems keep teams aligned no matter where they work. Since we made the change, version conflicts have disappeared, and collaboration feels natural even across time zones.
