Is there a URL convention that allows me to share a Google doc so that when it is opened it is in “Suggesting” Mode but still allows the user to change to “Edit” Mode?
I know that I can share a document with COMMENT privileges which locks users into a “Suggesting” mode, But I want my users to be forced to think about changing OUT of “Suggesting” mode and still be able to switch TO “Edit” mode.

A document will only open in Suggesting or View mode when it has been shared with a collaborator using those permissions. If you are the owner of the document, or if you are a collaborator with Edit permissions then you will need to manually change those settings each time you open the document.
