New Tool Discovery in Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides

You want to add a table and you know it is there... somewhere, but you just can't find it! Now, tools are much easier to find using the enhanced tool finder at the top of Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides.  

Using your own words, you can quickly locate relevant tools and features. For example, if you search “who last viewed this document,” the Activity dashboard will surface. 

Just type what you want to do in the "Menus" box in the top left of your document, spreadsheet or presentation.

In addition, if you open the enhanced tool finder immediately after you create a file, you’ll notice suggestions for common actions users take when preparing a new document, spreadsheet, or presentation, such as:  
  • Page setup, Dropdown, Meeting notes in Docs
  • Insert rows/columns, merge cells, and freeze rows/columns in Sheets
  • Page setup, Spell check, Edit theme in Slides
Once you begin editing, you can find recent actions by clicking into the tool finder for easy access to your previously used features.
