Make things as simple as possible.
In October, Google rolled out a new time-saving shortcut for anyone who spends a lot of time in Google Docs, and nowadays, that’s a hell of a lot of people.
The new shortcuts aren’t going to save you a loads of time each day, but it does streamline the whole process in a very helpful way.
To open a new, blank document, or spreadsheet, or presentation, all you have to do is go to one of Google’s handy new URLs.
Here’s a rundown of all of the new shortcuts, such as doc.new. To use them, just type them into the address bar of the browser of your choice and a new file will be created:
- Google Docs
- doc.new
- Docs.new
- Document.new
- Sheets
- sheet.new
- sheets.new
- spreadsheet.new
- Sites
- site.new
- sites.new
- website.new
- Slides
- slide.new
- slides.new
- deck.new
- Presentation.new
- Forms
- form.new
- forms.new
You can also bookmark them to streamline the process even more and while this may not be something that will drastically change your life, people are very happy about the new change.
