    [New look for Google Docs]
  • 0:03 - 0:05
    Google Docs has a brand new look.
  • 0:05 - 0:10
    Documents, spreadsheets and all the other Docs applications have a new modern look
  • 0:10 - 0:12
    or will soon be updated to match the new style.
  • 0:12 - 0:18
    For most Google products, these changes are simply a refresh: to colors, icons and buttons.
  • 0:18 - 0:22
    But in a few cases like the documents list, we've moved some features around
  • 0:22 - 0:26
    that affect where you navigate, search and sort through your documents.
  • 0:26 - 0:27
    [focus on search box - on triangle for dropdown list]
  • 0:27 - 0:31
    To start, we've moved al the search filter options into one drop-down in the search field.
  • 0:32 - 0:37
    This makes it easier to apply the filters you need and to find and display the documents you're using.
  • 0:37 - 0:41
    Just as before, you can narrow your search by document type, [cursor points to the various options]
  • 0:41 - 0:47
    the visibility of files (meaning who can access the files), and by who owns the item, now from one place.
  • 0:47 - 0:49
    We've also moved the Sort button [focus on the button, right above the list].
  • 0:49 - 0:52
    [Sort dropdown opens, then cursor points to named items] From here, you can view the last documents you've edited,
  • 0:52 - 0:58
    sort documents in alphabetical order by title, and even see which files take up the most amount of storage.
  • 0:59 - 1:02
    Next to the sort button is the new location of the Settings button. [focus on it, opens dropdown; cursor points to named items]
  • 1:02 - 1:06
    Here, you can control how many items are displayed in your document list,
  • 1:06 - 1:11
    open the general settings, find help as well as return back to the classical look you've used in the past.
  • 1:13 - 1:17
    Another change to the documents list is how and when we display some buttons and features.
  • 1:17 - 1:21
    [1st document in the list highlighted] For example, when you select an item in the documents list,
  • 1:21 - 1:27
    action buttons for sharing, organizing, deleting and previewing files appear above the list of documents.
  • 1:27 - 1:31
    [focus on More button, right of already named ones] The More button gives you access to additional options
  • 1:31 - 1:36
    [cursor moves to documents list] and if you right-click with your mouse on the documents list, you'll see the same options as well.
  • 1:36 - 1:40
    Another change we've made is how you preview items in the documents list.
  • 1:40 - 1:43
    [focus on Preview button] By default the Preview isn't shown,
  • 1:43 - 1:46
    to allow for quick scrolling and browsing through your items [action shown]
  • 1:46 - 1:50
    But if you click the Preview button, you can see a visual preview of the document [shown].
  • 1:50 - 1:56
    You can also see who has access to it, and you can edit the description of the document.
  • 1:56 - 2:00
    Just note that you can only preview one document at a time.
  • 2:00 - 2:04
    Finally, the look of the "Create" button has changed, as well as the upload button. [focus on create and upload, on the left above the list]
  • 2:04 - 2:08
    When you click the Create button, you'll notice you get the same options as before,
  • 2:08 - 2:11
    with updated icons for each time of doc. [dropodown list under Create button shown]
  • 2:11 - 2:14
    And if you're looking to browse the template gallery, [focus on From Template in the dropdown]
  • 2:14 - 2:17
    click Create > From Template to open the classic template options
  • 2:17 - 2:19
    where you can search and browse from templates.
  • 2:19 - 2:22
    We hope you like the new look of Google docs.
  • 2:22 - 2:24
    [focus on Settings - right above doc lists - then on Help in dropdown] For more information on the new look,
  • 2:24 - 2:28
