Want to save precious time when creating Google documents? You can instantly create new Google documents right from your browser’s address bar by typing doc.new and pressing enter.

Table in Google Docs™

It also works for other Google Workspace applications:

  1. Google Docs™: Type docs.new
  2. Google Forms™: Type form.new
  3. Google Slides: Type slides.new
  4. Google Sheets: Type sheet.new
  5. Google Calendar: Type cal.new
  6. Google Sites: Type site.new

These shortcuts work in any modern browser, not just Google Chrome.

Pro Tips:

  • You can use numbers (like docs.new/2) to create multiple documents in quick succession
  • If you’re signed into multiple Google accounts, you can choose which account to use when the new document opens

This simple trick can save you several clicks and precious seconds every time you need to create a new document.

How to save a Google Docs™ document

Google Docs™ implements an automatic saving system that continuously stores all changes made to documents. Unlike traditional word processors, there is no manual save function or save button required.

When creating a new document, the system automatically creates and saves it with the default file name “Untitled document”. The recommended first step is to change this default file name:

  1. Locate “Untitled document” in the top left corner
  2. Click on the text
  3. Enter your document file name
  4. Press Enter or click outside the text field

Offline Functionality

Google Docs™ maintains functionality during internet disruptions through local browser storage. Changes made offline are automatically synchronized when the connection is restored.

Version Management

To access previous document versions:

  1. Navigate to File > Version history
  2. Select “See version history”
  3. Review or restore previous versions as needed

Technical Notes

  • Saving occurs automatically every few seconds
  • Documents are stored in Google Drive with the specified file name
  • Document changes are tracked and merged automatically when multiple users edit simultaneously

For users transitioning from traditional word processors, note that Ctrl+S (Cmd+S on macOS) keyboard shortcuts are usually not required as all changes are saved automatically.
