Google Docs has 40 new templates — and they can make your work much easier

Google Docs just rolled out new templates designed to jazz up your documents and generally make your life easier.

There are 40 in total — with scenarios for creating business plans or business proposals, presentations, guides, meeting notes, conducting research or interviews, blogging, and more.

The new templates harness some of the latest Google Docs features, such as tabs for better document organization and tags that allow other people (like colleagues or survey participants) to see the lines they need to fill out.

Google notes that it’s adding templates gradually and full implementation might take about 15 days — so they might not appear for everyone just yet.

How to use the templates?

Open Google Docs and create a new file. Templates should appear at the top, or you can select the “File” menu — “Create” — “From template gallery”.

The new templates will be available to anyone with a personal Google account, as well as Google Workspace customers and Workspace Individual subscribers.

Over the next few months, Google plans to add even more template options, but let’s start with these 40 first.
