Want to know 7 Google Docs tips and tricks to make you look like a pro user, or maybe a little geeky? Check out this list!
Best Place to Start Your Google Docs
You might think this is obvious but this tip may make you rethink how you are accessing your Google Docs. Opening your Google Docs from the location you want to be stored will help you keep your Drive and Docs nicely organized.
Advanced Sharing
This is often overlooked. Take a look at the bottom right-hand corner of the share box (it will open after you click to share). Can you see it? Click advanced to open share settings that will give you more control.
Force a Copy or Preview of Your Google Docs
This is a handy feature to force a user to open your document as a copy (in case they didn't know how to create a copy) or open in preview so they can only see it. Take a look at the URL of your Google Docs document that you have open. Notice at the end of they URL "edit" is written, change edit to copy or preview and see what happens.
In Comments Assign Users and Individual Tasks
Do more with comments. After you select an area in your doc, click on comment. Now simply assign a task from your document by typing a "+" followed by the user you want to assign the task. Notice you can assign to that person with a click of the box. The user will be notified.
The Fantastic Explore Feature!
I love this feature! Click on Explore in the bottom right-hand corner. Explore will search your the web or Drive based on what you have written in your document. Quickly research other websites or scholarly documents with this feature. Explore will also find pictures to match your document topic
Star and Move Shortcut Icon
I overlooked these shortcuts for the longest time. Right beside your document's name (top left corner), you will see a star and a folder. Click to show importance or to move your doc to a new location in your Drive.
The Always Important Revision History
Revision History is a life saver! Go back through the history of your Google Doc and restore it to a previous version. You can also check on who did what in group work.

Dude, I have used Docs/Drive/Sheets for a long time and frequently teach classes on the same. What a great resource you provide as I learned several things that I've overlooked in the past.
Loved the star tip - I've also overlooked it -can't wait to begin using it! Also, assigning tasks and preview were new to me! Thank you so much!!
TANKYOU!!!! i never thought of using these while grading my work, doing stuff for other teachers also. Thank you for sharing this to the web!!!!
Thanks for these effective tips! We can easily overlook things yet once we know about them they make things go so much smoother.
You just made my life grading group documents a whole lot easier, and now that I can share citation options, my students' lives will be easier too. Thanks!

Creating a reference document, I like being able to create links to other parts of the document that you have already bookmarked, or to external sources, either on your G drive or the internet

2 questions - i've linked my gmail account to my work email account. how do i adjust my setting such that when i send a gdoc to someone it comes from my work email address and not my personal one? Other question - if I am sending the same document to multiple people, but I don't want this pool of people to know/see that others have the document, what is the best setting to use? Thx
i don't see this limited time sharing feature on my docs. do i have to add on something?
if u are a student and u use this but if i share it to a different person like my friend from a different school does the district detect it?
You’re the man. Got tutorial on new google classroom? In particular dealing with assignments, how to assign separate copies to multiple students and what process is supposed to be for them to fill the assignment out then post back into assignment area (turn in).

Yes I made the mistake of issuing a doc for students to edit and submit. Unfortunately they didn't all quite understand that they needed to make a copy first. Is there a workaround?
Can you create a drop-down tab that has a paragraph in Google Docs’ Word?, so you can create a summery?
Thank you
VERY GOOD!
Do you have any suggestions as to what to do if I want to share my work with other teachers on Slides, but want them to be able to access the links on the document but not be able to change or alter them in any way?
really helful is there a way to have the computer read you google docs without installing an app. Is it possible for you to do a video for that
You have a beautiful smile ❤️
Just when I thought I knew it all... Thanks!
Excellent video. I watched several and this is definitely the best. One thing, though. It is an infringement of copyright to "borrow" images that way.

I thought the same as I was watching it and did some investigation. If you click on the image before using it, it displays the usage rights so a quick and easy way to find out if you are OK to 'borrow' :) Better to check anyway and the originating site is displayed top left

Looking into it more it looks like Google applies the "labeled for reuse with modification" filter in the search. Did a search within docs followed a normal google image search and got differing results. Applied the filter on the image search and the image results were almost the same. The google docs search showed less and i think it didn't show some strange sized images
I need a whole course on Android. I'm just not Tech Savvy at all. I need the basics...Thanks for the knowledge.
Yes the information was useful.

Good, useful video; however, you'd do well to slow down a little & use more complete language. At times I cannot understand what you're saying. ["Hit the star." => Click on the starred folder.]

To make a word bold under comment type the * word * *word* and once you press enter whatever is b/t the * will be in bold.
how do you make the page length infinitely long. I don't like page breaks ruining my formatting. Print view also ruins formatting. I want no lines or breaks.
