For instance, entering “who last viewed this document” will bring the activity dashboard straight away.

And as well as Google Docs, the newly announced addition will be added to a couple of other Google workspace tools and services such as spreadsheet software Sheets and presentation software Slides thus replacing the current need to navigate to the Help menu in a bid to search all fields in the process.

The new search bar in question will be available almost instantly when opening up a new file, and it will initially offer suggestions for common actions on the platform, such as getting a Google Doc document properly set up, inserting rows or even columns in a Google Sheets file, or even editing the theme in a Google Slides presentation.

And as you start to build and edit a file, you will be able to locate recent actions as well as used features, or even further suggestions for functions that you might want to utilize in improving your file.
