Overall Satisfaction with Quip
When I joined my company, there was just one writer who used Microsoft Word. That was functional for a single writer, but as we grew and had more writers and people who needed access to copy, we needed a better resource.
An issue we solved with Quip was version control. The original copywriter had a tendency to jump back to old, unedited Word Documents when rewrites were requested. By using Quip, we negated that because every document is always the current version (with the ability to restore back to previous iterations if necessary).
We use Quip for all copy generation, along with placing photos in the Quip docs. Everything gets proofed within proof and then it is an easy handoff to graphic designers.

Pros
- Version control
- Live document control
- Organizing large projects
- Centralizing where content is created/stored
- Search is fantastic (find anything by title name or internal copy, and even any copy in spreadsheet cells)
Cons
- When using Quip Desktop, it can be slow to update with content from other users
- I think it would be cool to have a PDF proofing system integrated into Quip. Once copy has gone to design, we are basically done using Quip - I'd like to bring that all together within Quip
- Multi -select and group export of documents would be helpful
- Quip has increased the efficiency of our copywriters by making it easier to organize projects, eliminate emails (requesting for review), and eliminated version conflicts.
- Quip has simplified the hand-off between copy and graphics. Instead of having to put together an email with all the copy and images, a Quip doc can house everything and a simple notification lets the designers know a project is ready for design.
- Quip has allowed much easier visibility into the work of the copywriters in order for me to see when a project is ready to move along.
Quip was easier to use than any options when we were looking (5 years ago now). Google didn't really offer offline options. OneDrive was (and still is) not great. ShareFile was only considered because we already were using it for file transfer. Quip didn't have any real comparisons that worked as seamlessly.
