How to create a document tab in Google Docs™ on Mobile?

Travis

Document tabs are a relatively new and handy feature in Google Docs™, allowing you to group related documents together for better organization, much like browser tabs. They make navigating between files like project drafts, research notes, and final versions much easier.

But can you create these useful tabs directly within the Google Docs™ mobile app?

The Current Situation on Mobile

Let’s get straight to the point: Currently, the Google Docs™ mobile app (for both Android and iOS) does not have a built-in function to create new document tabs.

You can, however, easily access and switch between document tabs that have already been created using the desktop version of Google Docs™.

How to Open Existing Tabs on Mobile:

  1. Open the Google Docs™ app on your mobile device.
  2. Open any document that is part of a tab group.
  3. Tap the three vertical dots (⋮) icon located in the top-right corner of the app.
  4. In the menu that appears, you should see the names of the other documents within that tab group. Tap the name of the document you wish to switch to.

The Workaround: Using the Desktop Site

If you absolutely need to create a new document tab while you’re away from a computer, there is a workaround, although it can be a bit fiddly on a small screen:

  1. Open the web browser on your mobile device (like Chrome, Safari, etc.).
  2. Navigate to the Google Docs™ website: docs.google.com.
  3. You’ll likely be shown the mobile version of the site. Find your browser’s menu (often three dots or lines) and select the option to “View desktop site,” “Request desktop site,” or similar.
  4. The page will reload, showing the familiar desktop interface (zoomed out).
  5. From here, you can navigate your documents and use the tab creation features just as you would on a laptop or PC. You’ll likely need to zoom and pan quite a bit!

Struggling to adjust the width in Google Docs’ pageless format? It’s not in Page Setup where you’d expect!

The Fix:

  1. Enable Pageless: File > Page setup > Pageless.
  2. View > Text Width: Choose Narrow, Medium, or Wide.

That’s it! Not intuitive, but now you know.

Share Google Docs Anonymously

Want to share a Google Doc anonymously? Google Docs lacks a direct “anonymous share,” but here’s how to do it:

Options:

  1. Publish to Web: File > Share > Publish to Web. Creates a public, read-only link. Fully anonymous, but no comments/edits allowed.
  2. Separate Account: Create a new Google account with a generic name. Share the doc from that account, allowing comments/suggestions while hiding your primary identity.

Choose based on whether you need collaboration or complete anonymity.

Google Docs Tabs Downloading the Whole Document as One File

Are you using tabs in Google Docs to organize your document, but finding that you can only download one tab at a time? You’re not alone! Many users have been confused about how to download the entire document, including all tabs, as a single file.

The Problem:

When you have a Google Docs document organized with tabs, the default “Download” option within the open document (File > Download) only downloads the currently active tab. This can be frustrating if you’ve meticulously organized your work and want to export it all at once.

The Solution (and the Catch):

There are two ways to download in Google Docs:

  • Incorrect Method (Downloads Current Tab Only): File > Download (while the document is open). This only downloads the currently selected tab.
  • Correct Method (Downloads Entire Document): Download from the Google Drive context menu.

Here’s how to download the entire Google Docs document (including all tabs) as one file:

  1. Go to your Google Drive.
  2. Locate the Google Docs file you want to download.
  3. Right-click on the file.
  4. Select Download.
