Your document is now a personal template, and is available in the Templates tab of the Document Manager. To learn more about Personal Templates, click here.
A Change to the Viewer Role
Viewers are now referred to as Reviewers, and maintain all of the same privileges as before. (They can review a document and add comments, but cannot make edits in the document workspace. They can also remove their access to a document.) Read about all of the user roles and privileges here.

Submit and Return Work
Especially useful in a classroom environment are new Submit and Return Work options.

Recipients can then return another copy of that document by selecting Return Work... on the Sharing menu, or multiple selected documents at once by clicking the Return Work button in Document Manager.
