Google's Document Shortcuts Simplify User's Experience
Posted: December 18, 2018
Google Drive is often a tool that elicits love/hate feelings for many people. It's a great way to collaborate with others and store important files, but using its features can sometimes be a challenge. Occassionally, though, Google will add a feature that's not only helpful but makes using it easier, too - and this is the case with Document Shortcuts. Using Document Shortcuts will definitely make creating new Google Drive documents more convenient than ever.
Jack Wallen, contributor to TechRepublic, shares how to use Document Shortcuts to create new Drive documents.
Every once in a while Google creates something that makes a power user's life slightly more efficient. Be it a feature tucked within one of their tools or something with more overreaching power. Sometimes Google will roll out a new feature that makes me think, "Why?", and then they'll create a new tool that makes me think, "It's about time."
Document Shortcuts falls into the latter category. What are these shortcuts? Simply put, they are URLs that you can type into a browser (or use as shortcuts) that will automatically create a new document, spreadsheet, presentation, website, or form. You no longer have to open Google Drive, click on the New button, and then click to create the new document you want. Instead, type (or click on a bookmark) the proper URL, and the new document will be ready for work.
