Docs Redesign
Are
you an avid Google Docs and Spreadsheets user? (If
you're not sure what Google Docs is, you can read here
for a complete explanation). Well, if you are, you probably already
know about the redesign that took place a couple months ago, right?
But, just in case it's been awhile since you've used the program, I
thought I would give you a heads up on what you might see the next time
you open it up. Now, before I go any further, I'm just going to tell
you that the new design looks absolutely fantastic. If you want to know
more, you've got to continue reading!
First
of all, Google has given their Docs and Spreadsheets program a whole
new interface and it's easier to use than ever. The redesign of the
interface has really keyed in on some of the issues people (and maybe
you) were having with it before. For one thing, the new interface is
much faster than it was before and it really just pulls you in to use
it. This is one interface you'll really enjoy working with. On another
note, Google has also added a new drag and drop feature to the program,
which is always very helpful.
Along
with that, there is a whole new folder layout. Google finally got rid
of the "tag" feature and replaced it with folders. So, if
you ever had trouble figuring out how to make folders in Google Docs,
that will never happen again! One more very cool feature that has been
added to the new Google Docs has to do with the Search box. From now
on, when you're performing a search, Google Docs will give you some
suggestions for what they think you're searching for, all before you
even finish typing. It's a lot like the Google Suggest option you can
use for a regular Google search as well. So, how does all of that sound?
If you're big into using Google Docs, I think you're going to find that
these new features are very helpful and easy to work with. No doubt
about it!
