I have separate docs for each project.

Within each project, you’ll have the main doc. Then, you can make Drafts of that doc that other people can modify. You can also type right into them.

But, if you Merge that Draft with the main doc, it’s really easy to lose information.

The situation I ran into was that my co-writer and my betas each created their own Drafts to make comments in, and then that turned into a nightmare of trying to integrate four sets of changes (including the ones I’d made to the main doc while continuing to write.)

If you’re not working with multiple reviewers like that and aren’t worried about merging changes, using Drafts for chapters could work very well.
