At Google they are always looking for ways to improve their services and applications And, like every Wednesday morning, due to the time difference with respect to the United States, they present news in some of their tools On this occasion it is of its office applications, formerly known as Google Docs, and which for some time have been divided into Google Docs , Google Sheets and Google SlidesApplications that now have very interesting additions for those users used to working from their mobile devices.
First of all we have to talk about a new function introduced both in the application to create text documents and inpresentations And now users can attach images that they have stored on their mobile or tablet directly to these documents. But not only that. Once on the slide or on the sheet, the applications offer the possibility to crop and change its framing It is also possible to increase or decrease its size by dragging its borders, and even cut them in predetermined formats or cutouts that these applications now have.
Just click on the icon + or Insert within a document and select the album where you want to search for the image in question.Once selected, it appears on the document, well highlighted to know what its limits are. Thus, and with a single finger, it is possible to move it to any side or slide from its corners and sides to give it the desired shape and size.
The other great novelty, which more traveling users will like, is that both Google Docs and Google Presentations can workno Internet connection In this way, the workflow does not end even if the connection is cut on the device The user can continue working and taking advantage of all its features as usual. As it happened in the web version, all changes are synchronized once the user has Internet again, so there is no fear of losing any progress, or being forced to stop
With all this, it is the application Google Sheets that is left off the hook from this update, without adding these possibilities to its charts and tables. Of course, as a point in favor it must be said that these new features reach both the version for Android and for iOS of these applications. In this way, a large number of users will be able to take advantage of these simple and comfortable tricks both for choosing images and retouching them, having a special cropping mode for the slides that it is accessed with a double click on the photo, and always with the possibility of working without Internet connection.
