Available to G Suite users with Google Drive for a few years now, Google Keep has helped employees capture their thoughts, ideas, action items, and more in one easy-to-access place that is synced across all of the platforms - including web, Android, iOS, and Wear.
In addition, Google Keep is now accessible in Google Docs, so employees can easily revisit and repurpose their notes.
View and create Google Keep notes in Docs
Users can now view and create Keep notes in Google Docs.- Simply select “Keep notepad” from the Tools menu to pull up a sidebar containing your notes from Keep (and the option to search them). You can then edit those notes and drag and drop them into your document.
- If you’re inspired by the content already in your doc, you can create a new note by highlighting the relevant text, right-clicking, and selecting “Save to Keep notepad.”
- Or, if you simply want to create a new note with brand-new content, you can start typing in the “Take a note...” box in the notepad.
- All notes you create while in a document will be added to a “related” section within the sidebar.
- When you then view those notes in Keep, they will include a link back to the document in which they were created.
