Google001 Archivesintroducing a slew of new features in an overhaul to its web-based Docs, Sheets, and Slides tools, which could make working on and editing a group project online even easier.

Users will now be able to streamline multiple rounds of edits within the same Doc, cutting through the clutter that inevitably piles up on shared pages. You'll also finally be able to give suggestions from mobile devices, just in case you're struck by inspiration on the go or have to quickly give input on new changes remotely.

The new features were outlined in a new Keyword blog post, which showed off multiple use cases where the tools will likely come in handy IRL.

The biggest new features come with the organization of a group Doc. You'll now be able to name separate versions of the same file, which should be a helpful way to clarify which versions are final and which are still in progress. You can check out how that could be valuable in the GIF below, which shows off the new capability to only display the newly-namable versions of a Doc.

With the new features, you'll also be able to preview "clean" versions of a Doc for easier reading and review, and accept or reject all edits with one command to save time approving every little thing. Most helpfully, you'll be able to access the suggestions tool from mobile devices using the "three dot" menu.

Google's also introducing some new add-ons and templates for its productivity suite, making it easier for users to quickly draft documents like NDAs in the cloud. Partners include LegalZoom and Docusign, LucidChart, PandaDoc, EasyBib, and Supermetrics. Organizations will also be able to create their own personalized templates with add-ons for internal tasks.

Finally, there's also a new Google Cloud Search feature that uses machine learning to find relevant info across the Google ecosystem, but that's only available for G Suite Business customers.
