“You can enable offline access for docs, slides etc by going into settings and activating. This allows you to work on docs or slides without having the internet.” - Louis 

“It is good to get into the habit of making folders for subjects so that you can sort out work and any homework that you have so that it is easier to find.” - Louis

Docs

“You can use ctrl/cmd + / to view all keyboard shortcuts, as well as search through them.” - Willem

“You can change the docs orientation, page size, page colour and margins in the page setup menu found in the file setting on the top bar at the top of the page.” - Louis 

“Double-clicking on a word will highlight that word, and triple-clicking will highlight the whole sentence.” - Willem

“To make a new doc faster, type “docs.new” into your search bar.” - Willem
