dynodocWrite with room to revise.
Use a familiar formatting ribbon, document tabs, headings, lists, tables, links, images, checklists and LaTeX equations. Add comments where the discussion belongs. Export Word or a LaTeX project for Overleaf.
Built around the research process
The workspace behind the research
Write the protocol, refine the instrument, review the data, and keep the decisions that connect them.
Follow a revision from draft to shared research
Capture the starting point
Import the questionnaire and its source file. Keep the original beside an editable copy, with conversion notes you can review.
Source retained
Community wellbeing · Original instrument
Interactive example. Select a step to see how a revision moves through the workspace.
Keep data work connected.
Work with multiple sheets, formulas, formatting, filtering and cell ranges. Insert or remove rows and columns with formula references adjusted. Rename, duplicate and reorder sheets from the tab controls.
Let the instrument evolve.
Author single and multiple choice, ranking, dates, numeric scales, media and location definitions. Organize nested groups and repeats. Preserve translations, relevance, validation and advanced XLSForm columns.
Give each proposal a clear path.
Explore personal drafts, select changes to share, compare versions and review competing edits. Stable block identities connect a paragraph or question to its recorded changes.
Access that follows your team
Organize research into organizations, teams and folders. Owners and managers control sharing. Editors, reviewers and viewers get appropriate access. Publish a frozen read-only copy when you want to share outside the team, and revoke it later. Recover documents from Trash without rewriting their history.
Bring the tools you already use
| Tool or format | Available connection | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| ODK Central / KoboToolbox | Read questionnaires and response snapshots using your API credentials; import/export XLSForm. | Validate exported forms and attach datasets/media in the collection platform. |
| Google Forms | Separate read-only OAuth connection for form definitions and responses. | Imports create independent copies. Grid questions flatten; branching, media and quiz grading need review. |
| REDCap | Dictionary and record import; data-dictionary export. | REDCap branching logic and action tags need destination testing. |
| SurveyCTO / SurveyMonkey | Read response snapshots through supported API endpoints. | Account plan and API permissions determine availability. No writeback. |
| CSPro | Bring exported CSV or Excel datasets into the workspace. | Native CSPro applications and dictionaries are not executed. |
| Word / Excel | DOCX, DOC, XLSX and CSV import; DOCX, XLSX and CSV export. | Complex layouts, macros, charts and workbook-specific features may not transfer. Original files are retained. |
| LaTeX / Overleaf | Equation editing, .tex import/export, source ZIP import and Overleaf project ZIP export. | Project interchange; no live Overleaf synchronization or server-side TeX compilation. |
Know what is available today
Dynodoc supports deliberate, versioned collaboration. Simultaneous character-level cursors, complete Office feature parity, pivot-table design, native chart creation and full vendor survey runtimes are still outside the current editor. See the planned research tools and learn the current workflow.
