How do you use docs differently when working remotely?

In remote working environments, I find that I use docs a bit more informally. And by that I mean that collaborative docs are natural places for collaboration, brainstorming and collective thought with the rest of the team. Whereas in an in-office setting, I find documents are a more firm "source of truth" owned by the maker and shouldn't be edited without express permission. I think the way I tend to use docs in remote environments speaks to the need for some sort of "messy" collaboration. In an office setting, this might be happening at desks or in a collaboration space. In the remote or hybrid world, docs can be the "meeting point" for where this happens. Of course, there are exceptions to this, but it's a clear pattern I've seen since starting hybrid/remote work in 2018.

As a tech enthusiast with a passion for tinkering with code and circuits, navigating the remote work landscape can be quite the adventure! Personally, I've found that striking a balance between async and sync workflows is key to staying productive. Adapting the length of documents I write has been a game-changer - concise yet comprehensive seems to be the magic formula. How do you approach remote work document dynamics?
