This week in Docs: Quick starring, justify paragraph in the toolbar and improved sharing invitations

This week in Docs: Quick starring, justify paragraph in the toolbar and improved sharing invitations: "We’ve got a few features this week that we hope will save you time.

Starring

Have you ever run out of time while you’re reading a doc and wanted to remind yourself to come back to it? Today we’re making that easy -- now you can star documents while editing them.


Once a doc is starred, you’ll be able to find the doc by clicking on the starred link in your document list.


We’ll also be adding starring to drawings and spreadsheets over the next few weeks.

Justify is now in the toolbar

We also made it faster to justify paragraphs in documents by adding a button to the toolbar. No need to select Format > Align > Justify.

Improved sharing invitations

Lastly, we’re launching an update to sharing invitations today that will make it easier to start discussions around files. When you share a doc with others, all new collaborators are now included on the email thread.


This means that when someone replies to the email in the thread, the other invitees will automatically see the message. We’re hoping this will help spark conversations and put an end to multiple email threads about a single doc.

That’s it for this week. If you have feedback on any of these features, let us know in the comments.
