Google recently announced a new time-saving feature for Docs and its other productivity tools including Sheets, Slides, Sites and Forms via Twitter that allows users to create new documents instantly.
Previously users had to go to Google Drive or to the site of any one of the company's productivity tools to create a new project. Now though, with the introduction of Google's .new domain, users can simply type “doc.new” into the search bar to instantly create a new Google Doc.
The company also registered a number of variations such as documents.new that also work to create new documents.
However, this format is not limited to Google Docs but also works with Google's other products as well so sheet.new would create a new sheet while slide.new creates a new presentation and form.new creates a new form, etc. With all of these shortcuts, it is important to remember not to type in the “www” and to just type in the domain.
Improved productivity
For those that work with Google Docs or any of its productivity tools often, this new feature will likely be a big time saver and will make creating new documents almost effortless. Users can also bookmark Google's new domains if they want an even faster way of creating new files.
The fact that the company owns the .new domain means that it can create whatever subdomains it wants on the site and users have already requested for a few that were overlooked such as “drawing.new” and “email.new”. Google has not yet responded to these requests but don't be surprised if the search giant adds more .new links in the future.
To get started using this new feature just type “doc.new” into your search bar to create a new document.
