These quick checks usually tell you whether the problem is with the document, the account, the browser or the school environment. 1 Confirm that the teacher or student is signed in with the correct school Google account. 2 Check whether the user has Viewer, Commenter or Editor access to the document. 3 Try the same Doc in another browser or on another device before changing document settings. 4 Check whether the issue affects one document, one user, several users or the whole school. ## Still having trouble with Google Docs?
