This new feature in Google Docs has almost gone unnoticed. However, if you use Google’s productivity suite, this is a new feature that could significantly improve your productivity. In essence, it’s a feature that allows you to create tabs within a document. In certain situations, instead of opening multiple Google Docs files on multiple browser tabs, you can group your texts on the same file. And if you're working on a particularly long document, you can organize and structure it using Google Docs tabs.

How to use Google Docs tabs ?

To use Google Docs tabs, simply click on the new floating icon that appears at the top right.

For example, while writing this article, I can create a new tab for notes, another for remarks, and another tab that includes the list of my sources. And that's not all, since you can also create sub-tabs. So, for example, I can create a sub-tab “Image” in the “Sources” tab.

In addition to the fact that this feature allows you to be more organized, It can also help you create documents that are easier for your colleagues to understand, if you're collaborating on a project.

More organized documents and significant time savings

“A customer service representative can create tabs for each solution to resolve common customer service issues. A project manager can create a tab for budget, roles and responsibilities, goals and key dates so that his work team can stay on track,” says Google, which gives, in its announcement, a non-exhaustive list of uses for this new Google Docs feature.
