Question 1: Will modifying the fill color in collaboration mode affect others?
- Solution: Yes, fill color modifications are synchronized in real time to all online collaborators.

- Solution: By default, the fill color will be printed with the document. To cancel printing the fill color, go to "Page Layout" → "Sheet" and uncheck the "Draft Quality" option.
Question 3: What should I do if the text is hard to read after applying a fill color?
