Google Docs Updates
Recently, there have been quite a few updates to Google Workspace, including Google Docs. Some of the features that are now available are dropdown menus, reactions, emojis, and "smart chips". Take a look at the example Google Doc embedded to see how you might be able to incorporate these new features.

Force a Copy v. Use Template
Many of us love the feature where we can share Google Docs with others and allow them to have their own copy of the document. Did you know you can also create a Template for others to use? This allows the person receiving the Google Doc to preview what it is they are making a copy of first and then have the ability to have their own version.

Google Docs Comparison
If your Google Drive is anything like mine, you have a LOT of Google Docs!
There is a new feature where you can compare documents to see what has changed in different versions of similar documents you have. Once you choose your two documents to compare, Google will then create a third Google Doc that shows the differences as suggested edits.
*Note: If one of the documents has unresolved suggestions, they will be treated as accepted while comparing the documents.
Directions to compare documents
On your computer, open Google Drive.
Open the Google Docs document you want to compare.
At the top, click Tools and then Compare documents.
Select a document you want to compare against.
If you enter a name in the "Attribute differences to" field, the third document will show the differences as suggestions from that name.
To include comments from the selected document, check the box next to Include comments from the selected document.
Click Compare.
Click Open.
Checklists
Checklists
Google Docs now offers checklists within their docs!
When you have a list of items in mind, you can start typing them in after clicking the Checklist button in the toolbar.
Enter your first item next to the checkbox, hit Enter or Return, and then type your next item.
Again, this works just like a numbered or bulleted list in Google Docs.
