When you’ve been given two lengthy Google Docs files to compare, don't strain your eyes (and drive yourself crazy) trying to spot the differences! Instead: - Open up one of the documents: - Go to the Tools menu - Select Compare documents - A box will open, allowing you to choose the document you want to compare with the open one - Select Compare, and a new document named "Comparison of [Document name] & [Document name]” will open with the changes highlighted This works for distinct documents, but if you want to see the changes to a single document over time (or restore it to an earlier version), you’ll want to use Version History. #GoogleDocs Image description for accessibility: Classic blue background. The words “Don't strain your eyes to spot the differences between files - use Compare documents” are over a graphic of a thinking, blonde-haired woman in a pale blue t-shirt in front of two documents with reciprocal arrows linking them.

Here are my 3 favorite shortcuts for Google Docs: 1️⃣ Shift + Tab to “un-indent” We probably all use <Tab> to create bullet points and sub-bullet points, but did you know pressing <Shift> and <Tab> shifts text to the left? 2️⃣ Create Heading 1, 2, 3 with “#” # = Heading 1 ## = Heading 2 ### = Heading 3 3️⃣ Create checkboxes with [ and ] Type [ followed by ] and space to create a checkbox! Alternatively you can use the “@checklist” command 🌟 Bonus: I absolutely LOVE the Tabs feature! For 1:1’s with my manager, I keep all links to external documents (e.g. Budget spreadsheet) in a “Key Links” tab and our actual notes in a separate (clean) tab. #googleworkspace #productivity

Google Docs is secretly packed with power. After 15 years of relying on it for everything from contracts to collabs, I'm still discovering new tricks. Like typing @task to create checklist reminders inside documents perfect for group projects. My favorite little-known hacks: • Ctrl+Shift+V pastes without formatting (life-changing) • Voice Typing turns lectures into editable notes • Compare Documents merges edits cleanly Yet most people barely scratch the surface. These tools eliminated three other apps from my workflow. What's your most-used Docs feature that others might not know? #ProductivityHacks #GoogleWorkspace #EdTech #RemoteWork #DigitalTools

We’ve all written that one email we wish we could take back. Too long, too sharp, or somehow still confusing even after three rereads. Microsoft Copilot can now review your emails for grammar, tone, and clarity before you hit send. It doesn’t just fix typos - it helps you sound like the version of yourself you meant to be when you started typing. Try this: “Review this email for clarity and tone. Make it sound professional but friendly.” Copilot will smooth the edges, trim the fluff, and keep your message human. Because the best emails don’t just get sent - they get understood. #MicrosoftCopilot #ProductivityTools #SandraNetwork #Microsoft365 #BusinessCommunication #CopilotTips
