One way to collaboratively work on a project timeline with your colleagues or design a diagram for a presentation: Google Drawings. This tool is a stand-alone editor that lets you create charts, diagrams, designs and other schematics.

To access Google Drawings, sign into your account and click "Documents." Then click "Create new" and choose "Drawing" from the drop-down menu to begin your work.

You can edit your drawings in real time with anyone you choose by selecting "Share" and inviting people. You can also chat with others who are editing your drawing, from within the drawings editor. Also, the drawings editor supports alignment guides, snap to grid and publishing drawings as images.
