Finally I've tried this and really saved time especially in creating Meeting Notes with Action items to be followed up. Love your Gdocs content and really like your ENERGY in every video..!!
Best video I've ever seen in regards to productivity! Thank you so much Jeff for making this video! We're currently in the transitions of switching from office 365 to Google workspaces and this pro tip is extremely helpful in helping us be as productive and as efficient as possible. Excellent video!
Thanks@@JeffSu! We just made the switch and started using your tips! We're off to an amazing start and I can't thank you enough for influencing positive change!
This man never disappoints us, thank you Jeff. If possible, in the future I'd like to see more videos about finances, investing and your job, maybe day in a life of yours etc:D I think it'd be interesting for lot of people
Thanks for sharing these new features from Google Docs, Jeff! They're pretty much useful, for sure! (They seem a lot with some Notion features, huh?) ;) I wish Google Team make some helpful changes like those in Sheets. It's time some Excel features could have their corresponding ones on Sheets...
@@JeffSu Yep, I use google workspace for our small IT business and with the clients we consult with. I like that most of the tips you put in your videos have real world usage. Fantastic stuff, keep it up!
@@JeffSu A bit of personal usage, at work we use the Microsoft suite exclusively. Doing some Discord related freelance stuff, so making my own slides and sheets to present, so technically work ? 😂 Just makes collaborating so much easier. Used to used Notion before.
I have been waiting to try the smart canvas features. After watching the video I checked and they are here! I have material for my next quick tips presentation at our weekly staff meeting
If I could give you 10k thumbs up I would-thanks for all these pro-tips! It's been a few years since I've worked in the office/corporate world, so I try to stay current by teaching myself. You're my #1 source-you are so helpful! Thank you-loving the @ tips.
Great tips…thanks! I use docs for my weekly recurring meeting notes with customers. This will help. I just need to check if all applies to external users too. Thanks again!
Nice video. But how would I insert a pre-created form or list into a Google doc? In other words, i have a list of screening questions that I want to simply insert into the doc whenever I have a new interview (similarly to how you would import a meeting date and name using Building Blocks in one click). How would I go about doing that? Thank you.
But I seem to have a problem where when I search up the file I wanted to use in the smart chip update, I coouldn't find it, I've been trying for months now, but except when I click on the files that I don't want to and then I use the @ to search for more files I saw that there are new files coming in. I thought that was a solution, until it took to long to get to the file I wanted. Do you have any solutions you could share with me?
@@JeffSu gonna set up a "home" document on our shared drive which can host meeting notes, links to other docs as tiles, ideas, other relevant info etc.
Jeff's videos always impress me! Jeff, may I know if there's a feature - to get a wording located/referred to one of the slides, in the same Google Doc? E.g. I text a word 'shoes' in page 20, and I want to click the word to let me refer to page 3 (i.e. description) for my reference. **Context** I'm a heavy user of Google Drive and this new feature is damn useful, close to Notion, and most importantly - syncs up all info within Google Suite! The learning curve of Notion is too long for me to migrate my lengthy language notes from Google Doc! Hopefully Google can keep optimising Google Suite further! Thx again for your sharing:) (and I try to put your skills into practice xD)
Damn 🤯 this is beyond awesome. It would smooth out the workflow for the teams which use google workspaces. Anyway, I might have missed in which video central depository concept was discussed
Thank Jeff! Is there a way to modify the original template that is autogenerated when using @meeting notes, so I don't have to modify it each time? If not, it is still helpful. It looks organize
Great info. Are elements of tables being incorporated into docs and sheets as it's been in beta for ages now? Is tables still in development or put on the backburner. Would be great to have an update.
This is great. I was wondering why I was seeing gray buttons in my documents recently. Thanks for the Pro Tip! Q: Do you have any samples of Central Repository Documents? I have been doing something simular for a while but my documents seem like a laundry list and not an organized handsome document,
Hi Daniel! Thanks so much for the comment and question! For central repository documents, I would argue they change based on the objective of that document. For example a onboarding document for new hires would have Format A, whereas a Master Project Tracker would have Format B. I know this doesn't answer your question (😅) but I find it helpful to see what I want to achieve with that document first!
@@JeffSu This is true. I tend to make NAMEOFPROJECT log documents with links to other docs and TOC with the headers. I just need to learn to have more style. BTW, enjoy cracking your neck as you do at the beginning of the video while you are young. That source of relief goes away after 45.
One question, when I want to add a building block, only one appears, the one with meeting notes. I don't know how to add the other two, the brainstorming or the road map. Do you know how to do it?
@@JeffSu No, when you put at sign (@) there is a section called "Building Bloks" in the video three appear (Meeting notes, Project Road Maps, Brainstorming). But only one appears to me (meeting Notes). I leave you the Google video, second four th-cam.com/video/SDBbFETGiA4/w-d-xo.html Thanks for your help. And by the way your videos are great
Google could help us to create a task on tasks app from this doc file!! And also let us create a template of our own instead of only this meeting one! Looking forward for updates
At this point, for drive, - They should combine drive and keep. Or make keep a file type. - If people storing image in keep file, they should be able to add text under or above each image. Keep should be more like lite version of doc file w/ some more functionality like "bold text." - remove the task app. - remove "task" and "reminder" in the calendar. Just have an "event". - Bring cards system in doc. Can be used as a "catcher" and also for "long notes". - They should remove the ugly file icons they have in drive. - plus have different drive color themes and dark mode.
I am not able to yet replace evernote (due to pricing) to Google docs as it does not have image search OCR Also how to add pdf and search it is also i need to know. Can you help please?also not avaiyon mobile?
@@JeffSu but there are no tables unfortunately. So I'm not resubscribing to evernote because of higher cost. Otherwise I thing Google Docs could deploy mobile and overall features like evernote it would be fantastic since I already a paying Google 1 customer
Hi, Jeff! For some reason my @-menu is way too shorter than yours. Everything I have is People, Smart chips, Elemets, Files and Calendar. No Lists, Charts, Headings, Page number etc. How can I expand my suggestion list?
@@JeffSu Yes, if I type for example @list then I get list suggestions, so all the functions exist but they are hidden until I start typing some specific option
Great video. :D But how do I make it the "chek list" in google dock dynamic too? Just imagine. If the "chek list" you put together in a meeting could now also appear in your Google task
@@JeffSu So I’ve watched several videos on loops in November and Kevin’s newest video, and I don’t see it. It will be fantastic to see a video from you on this if you have time. Thank you for providing such great content.
How do we change the colour of the bookmark tag currently it's blue. I want to make it no colour or white because the blue little ribbons make the document look ugly.
Can somebody say how to connect certain calendar to google docs? Menu @ gives no options but standart calendar. If your have 2 or more calendars in google, Docs just doesnt want to see them. Why??
@@JeffSu Like, when you hit @ it gives a bunch of templates. Is it possible to make your own template? Hopefully I'm making sense, still new to using docs :D
Have you started using any of the new Smart Canvas features yet??

Yes this is similar to Notion. I think a lot of the co-working apps are going in this direction 😁
These Google Workspace tips videos have been amazing. The examples you've provided are so relatable!

Woohooo that's what I love to hear 😁
Morning Jeff! The lightning and the texture of the video looks slightly different but more advanced 👍 you must put lots of effort on it👏
Haha thank you! I definitely put (even) more effort into this one 😉
5 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The coolest features. Useably.
Thank you my friend 😁

Hm...not sure that's possible yet haha. Or just create a Google Doc with the questions as a template, then make a copy of that template
So cool, always wanted these "smart chips" rather than hovering over symbols and searching what you need in the menu bar
I know right? Completely game-changing!
Love your videos.
Can you use these in the mobile versions?
Unfortunately not :(

Thanks for the great videos
High quality and useful video as always. 加油～

You're very welcome François! Hope this helps with your Google Workspace/Docs workflow!
Great video as always jeff!
I personally prefer the way that notion handles it lol. the backslash is far more convenient than @.
As you know, I like Notion as well but hey practice makes perfect 😂
Awesome. Is there a way to have information placeholders as variables so I can change several at once and be updated? Thanks
Don't think that's possible yet 😅
@@JeffSu thanks for your answer.
I saw this feature on my Docs but didn't know how to use it. Thanks for the info.
You're welcome! Hope it's clear now!
Hey Jeff.. Thanks a lot for this video. Small question - Is there any Notion equivalent that’s made by google ? If not, is there anything comings up?
No idea 😂
Hi Jeff from Brazil ! Did you know that it was possible to use **markdown** in google docs to write documents? As always, perfect your videos!
What do you mean? Like bolding or italicizing?
@@JeffSu italics, bold, strikethrough and links. Also you can do six type of headings.
@@walaceelias Thanks for the input!!
Thanks so much Jeff! Superb info! Very useful ! As always superb vids 👌 looking forward to more 😎
Thank you! Do you use Google Docs at work or for school?
