Google Docs is used by 1.8+ billion people worldwide.

The recent updates are perfection.

11 g-docs features so good, you'll kick yourself if you didn't know:

🔸 Pageless

Most people don't print anymore.

Get rid of your page breaks entirely.

So much cleaner-looking.

3. Toggle 'Pageless'
🔸 Emoji Reaction

Instead of commenting, you can now react.

1. Select part of your doc to react to
2. Insert >

See what's different between two docs.

Indispensable when working with freelancers (and others).

A quick shortcut to insert almost anything.

By typing @, you can add:
