I. Intro 

Docs is a word editor designed for online collaboration, enabling multiple people to view or make edits at the same time. It is packed with useful features and powerful tools to help bring out the best out of the whole team.

Content is automatically saved to the cloud, eliminating the need to send files back and forth and the worry of forgetting to save.

Draw team members' attention by @mentioning them and interacting directly in the document by posting comments.

Enrich your document with images, tables, videos, files, boards, callouts, code blocks, polls, and many more.

Use Markdown and shortcuts to give your productivity an instant boost.

Step 2: Edit the document

Add headings

There are three ways to add headings: 

Method 1: Type / at the beginning of any line or press Space and enter / anywhere in the text, then select a heading from the pop-up toolbar. 

Method 2: Hover over the + icon on the left side of a blank line, and select a heading from the pop-up toolbar. 

Method 3: Hover over the text, then hover over the ⋮⋮ icon that appears at the beginning of the line, and select a heading. 

You can select words and use the toolbar that appears to format text with bold, italic, strikethrough, underline, or add links or background colors. If you need to cancel a change, press Ctrl + Z (Windows) or Command + Z (macOS). For more information, see Format text in Docs.

Insert a cover 

You can add a cover to the document to give it a more polished look.

Hover over the document title and click Add Cover to add a random cover.

Hover over the cover and click Edit Cover > Select Image, then choose from over 60 high-quality images from the gallery or upload an image of your choice.

Insert elements

In any blank line, enter / or hover over the + icon on the left side of the blank line, then choose an element to insert. 

A wide variety of elements can be added, from Douyin videos to polls to code blocks, so you don't have to just tell your audience your ideas, you can also show them.
