Quick launch summary
We’re making two Google Docs assistive writing features—
Smart Compose and
Autocorrect—available to G Suite for Education, G Suite Enterprise for Education, and G Suite for Nonprofits users.
These features add to other intelligent assistive writing features, such as
neural grammar correction in Gmail, which help G Suite for Education users write more quickly and efficiently. The new features were previously available to other G Suite editions, but not G Suite for Education customers. Users can choose to turn each feature on or off.
Autocorrect in Google Docs Autocorrect helps you compose documents quickly and with confidence. Misspelled words will automatically be corrected while typing and denoted with a grey dashed underline. As you continue typing, this dashed line will disappear. It will be available for Google Docs on the web in English.

Smart Compose in Google Docs Smart Compose helps you compose high-quality content faster by cutting back on repetitive writing while reducing the chance of spelling and grammatical errors. It will be available for Google Docs on the web in English.
