What’s changing
We’re introducing new buttons at the top of your Google Doc that enable you to quickly insert building blocks for different types of content, such as meeting notes, email drafts and more, directly into your document.
Simply click your preferred button or choose '@ More’ to see options like drafts for a Calendar event or a code block.

Why you’d use it
This feature boosts productivity and saves time by helping you quickly access Docs smart canvas features like email drafts, meeting notes, and search for more.
Additional details
The row of buttons will only appear at the top of newly created or empty Google Docs, meaning you will not see these options in documents with existing content.
Selecting the “@ More” option will display a menu allowing you to search for Docs features and leverage the power of smart canvas.
