Tech Tips

Do you ever need to compare two versions of a Google document that look the same at first glance? Use the "Compare Documents" feature, which creates a new document that shows you the differences between them.

Here's how: Click Tools in the menu of one of the Docs and select "Compare Documents.” From there, you can select a Doc in your Google Drive to compare. Google Docs will then create a new document that highlights the differences between the two in red, making it easy to see what has changed — and catch potential errors.

Featured Topic

This month’s Feature Topic is DCSS Guideline for Activity History Comments and highlights the importance of writing clearly and concisely. Some benefits of clear and concise writing:

Enhanced understanding: Readers can grasp the main idea quickly and easily, minimizing misinterpretations.

Improved reader engagement: Concise writing keeps the reader focused on the key points, preventing boredom from excessive details.

Effective communication: Delivering information directly saves time for both the writer and reader.

Professionalism: Demonstrates thoughtful organization and attention to detail.

Persuasive impact: Clear writing can strengthen your argument and convince the reader more effectively.

Reduced ambiguity: By using precise language, you eliminate room for misunderstanding.

Better decision-making: Clear communication enables readers to make informed decisions based on accurate information.

In the Spotlight

In the spotlight this month are two internal checklists that have been updated to better align with AZCARES and with the processes that have been also been updated in the new system. The Contempt Action Review Worksheet and the Enforcement Case Closure Checklist are fillable forms located in the Internal Forms and Checklist table in the Document Matrix section of The PORT.
