Google has announced new dropdown and table tools for Google Docs<\/a>, as it attempts to evolve its word processing software into more of a collaborative productivity tool. The search giant calls small modular features like these \u201csmart chips,\u201d and they\u2019re part of the \u201csmart canvas\u201d initiative it launched last year<\/a>. The features are rolling out over the course of this month across all Google Account tiers. <\/p>\n

The dropdown tool lets you insert a small dropdown menu into a Google Doc, with a list of customizable options to choose from. Meanwhile, there are also new table template options that can be used to quickly add nicely formatted tables into a document. It looks like a huge improvement from Google Docs\u2019 current barebones table creation feature.<\/p>\n

Between them, they can be used to quickly create a simple project management document like those offered by productivity tools like Notion, directly within Google Docs. No longer is Docs designed around the idea that you\u2019re typing out a document that you\u2019ll eventually print. Instead, recent features see its documents serving more as collaboration tools for remote workers. <\/p>\n

After years of remaining relatively unchanged, Google has been rapidly releasing new features for Docs in recent months. It announced new pageless formatting in February<\/a>, Markdown support<\/a> and the ability to seamlessly draft emails in March<\/a>, and emoji reactions in April<\/a>. The new options are both available from the Insert menu, where you\u2019ll find an option for \u201cDropdown\u201d or \u201cTable templates\u201d within the \u201cTable\u201d submenu. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
