Google Docs is getting tabs to help with organization and finding information in lengthy documents. Although it might take a few weeks to emerge, the functionality, which was first revealed in April, is now progressively being made available to all Google Workspace users as well as personal Google accounts. In its most recent Workspace upgrade, Google declared that "you can now use tabs to draft and build content in a way that makes it possible for you to find what you're looking for quickly and stay on task." "Moreover, readers can easily scan your document and concentrate on the sections that are most important to them."
The bullet-point icon in the top-left corner of the document screen on the Gdocs desktop online editor can be used to access tabs. When hovered over, the sign that read "show document outline" now reads "Show tabs & outlines," giving users the ability to add and manage multiple tabs, including subtabs to create customisable categories. For instance, Google advises users to make a "budget" tab with subtabs for particular costs like transportation and meals.
Up to three levels of nested subtabs can be added using this feature. To create a subtab, drag a tab into another tab to make it automatically become a subtab, or choose "Add subtab" from the tab settings menu. Users can give each tab and subtab a distinct label and emoji to instantly identify them. When a document has two or more tabs, the tab navigation menu will open by default. Users can click the three dots next to each tab to share links to individual tabs.
Renaming, copying, and deleting tabs are among the tab editing features that are exclusive to people with editor access to the document. In suggestion mode, tabs can be viewed and navigated but not changed otherwise.
