Google not just has Gmail as one of the most productive tools but also has other G Suite apps such as Docs, Sheets, Slides and more. These are used by several million users both on PC and mobile platforms. Although you have a different web link to visit the Docs, Sheets or Google Slides, which you have to type, open and then start working on, now you can simply type an URL to begin working on a new file.

The search giant has announced on Twitter that now onwards one can simply open a new tab and type ‘docs.new’ or ‘doc.new’ or ‘document.new’ to open a new document file and get going. This saves you a few clicks and several seconds to open a new document file. Similar ‘.new’ extensions have been introduced for Sheets, Forms and Slide.
“Introducing a .new time-saving trick for users. Type any of these .new domains to instantly create Docs, Sheets, Slides, Sites or Forms,” tweeted the Google Docs official page.
You can access sheet.new, sheets.new or spreadsheet.new to create a new sheet file. Slides.new and slide.new are also available in addition to forms.new and form.new.
On a related note, Google earlier this month introduced new ways to add images and charts from other files to Google Docs and Slides. You can do it using the ‘Explore’ feature. With it, one can search for Google Drive files related to what you’re currently working on. This feature is available for basic G Suite users in addition to Business and Enterprise users.
Google recently also introduced ‘compose actions’ add-ons for Gmail wherein you can easily attach a file saved in third-party cloud storage service without downloading it and attaching it again. For now, the integration exists for Box, Dropbox and Egnyt.
