Google is adding a new feature to some of its Workspace apps that will help users quickly locate commonly used tools without needing to sift through various menus and toolbars. The \u201cenhanced tool finder<\/a>\u201d is starting to roll out across Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides today, appearing as a search bar \u2014 identified by a magnifying glass icon and a \u201cMenus\u201d label \u2014 at the top-left of the app\u2019s usual toolbar.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The search bar features a pill-shaped design that\u2019s in keeping with the recent Material Design 3 overhaul<\/a>. It\u2019ll automatically offer up commonly used suggestions that vary depending on which Google Workspace app you\u2019re using, such as \u201cPage setup\u201d in Docs, \u201cInsert rows\/columns\u201d in Sheets, and \u201cEdit theme\u201d in Slides. Alternatively, users can look up specific tools by name or slap in a description. For example, searching for \u201cwho last viewed this document,\u201d will bring up the Activity dashboard.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

You don\u2019t need to remember the specific name of the tool you need, a description of the feature should suffice.<\/em><\/figcaption>Image: Google<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

The new tool finder is also now the home of the \u201cfind & replace\u201d tool, where you\u2019ll find it pinned below any search results. Tapping on the search bar will re-surface previous queries and keyboard shortcuts will appear beside applicable tools in search results, prompting users to memorize those for the tools they most often use.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Prior to this update, you could locate various features and tools in Google Workspace apps by heading into the Help menu and selecting Search. This update just makes those search features easier to find and auto-populates the field with suggested prompts. It may take a while for the new tool finder to appear as this update is rolling out gradually, though Google\u2019s release timeline indicates it should arrive on Workspace and personal Google accounts by May 25th.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
