Organize Your Google Docs with the New Document Tabs

How Tabs in Google Docs Can Help You

Tabs allow you to segment your document into manageable sections, ensuring both you and your readers can easily find and focus on the content that matters most. Here are some ways tabs can be used:

• Marketing teams: Organize campaign briefs by separating tabs for budget, goals, and creative ideas.

• Sales leaders: Create pitch templates with tabs for different industries or territories.

• Customer service reps: Categorize solutions for common issues into individual tabs.

• Project managers: Break down plans into tabs for budget, team roles, goals, and timelines.

• Team leaders: Store recurring documentation like meeting notes, agendas, and reviews in separate tabs.

Each tab can also include subtabs for even more granularity. For example, a budget tab might feature subtabs for travel expenses and vendor fees.
