Google Docs has become a go-to platform for online collaborations, thanks to its user-friendly interface and real-time editing features. The platform keeps adding new features and updates to enhance the user experience. In its latest development, Google has introduced emoji reactions to Google Docs comments.
Google Docs Emoji Reactions
Google added emoji reactions to Google Docs in April last year, and now it has enabled users to add emoji reactions to existing comments in Docs. It’s a less formal way of expressing opinions and feedback, which can increase collaboration and creativity among team members.
This new feature will be rolling out to Rapid Release domains soon, and the launch to Scheduled Release domains is planned for May 3. This means that users who have opted for the Scheduled Release track will have to wait for a few more days to use this feature.
Other Updates
Apart from this new feature, Google has also announced a few more updates in Workspace. Here are some of the new features:
Image Insertion in Google Sheets on Android:
Users can now drag and drop images into Google Sheets on Android as an over-grid image rather than an in-cell image. Additionally, users can convert over-grid images into in-cell images via the context menu.
Replacing Images Quickly in Google Slides:
Google has added a new option to drag and drop images from anywhere to replace images in Slides presentations. This feature is rolling out to Rapid Release domains, and the launch to Scheduled Release domains is planned for May 9.
Attach Files to a Google Calendar Event:
Users can now attach a document, spreadsheet, or presentation to a Google Calendar event directly from Meet in Docs, Sheets, and Slides. This makes it easier for meeting attendees to access the file.
Conclusion
Google Docs is an excellent tool for online collaborations, and the addition of new features like emoji reactions makes it even better. The updates announced by Google in Workspace are also helpful for users who use these platforms for their daily work. If you’re a Google Workspace user, keep an eye out for these new features, as they can enhance your productivity and make your work easier.
