title: Best way to collaborate with manager on R Markdown reports?
body: <p>I'm producing plenty of analyses in R and utilizing the .html Markdown format to present and communicate work. Often, my manager will need to correct/add to the text which accompanies the code blocks, and has practically no interaction with the code blocks. The analyses are typically produced by myself alone, so code collaboration is a low priority.</p>
  
  <p>In an ideal world, he could open up the .html and edit the text in a browser, which I understand is not possible.</p>
  
  <p>Are there any simple solutions for this? I am sure this is a common problem so there must be an easy solution I am overlooking. Here are the current solutions being considered:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Use Git (<em>but my manager wouldn't like to learn Git</em>)</li>
  <li>Use Jupyter Notebooks (<em>but I would prefer to stick with R Markdown for integration with RStudio and for the reproducible templates</em>)</li>
  <li>Knit the Markdown as a word document with manual version control on a shared network, allow tracking of changes in the word document, and copy-and-paste over changes made to the .Rmd file</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>The latter is least elegant but most likely to be used at the moment. If you have any suggestions, please let me know!</p>
