2019. Google Drawings can now be embedded into Google Docs and easily updated



Google Drawings is set to enhance its integration with Google Docs by introducing a direct and dynamically updating embed feature. Currently, users need to manually create a new drawing from the Google Docs insert menu, which opens a separate window for editing. Once completed, users can insert the drawing into the document. However, the upcoming integration streamlines this process. In the "Insert" menu, under "Drawing," a new option called "From Drive" will be available. Selecting this option opens a Drive file picker, allowing users to choose an existing Drawings file to embed. Once embedded, the drawing remains linked to the document, enabling users to update it automatically whenever changes are made to the source file. Additionally, users can choose to unlink the embedded drawing to make further customizations and edits that won't affect the original version.




2010. Google Docs adds Visio killer, collaborative editing in Google Wave style



When Microsoft demoed the Office Web Apps, we noted that nobody knows what will Google Docs look like when Office 2010 finally launch. MS Office Web will appear at least in 2 months and this question is still relevant. While Microsoft is fixing bugs in its web office, Google is constantly improving Docs. The new version of Google Docs features the significantly improved collaborative editing technology. It has a sidebar, which displays a list of users who are editing or viewing the document right now. On the same panel is chat. Each user is assigned a color and you can watch in real-time how your co-workers edit document (like in Google Wave or Etherpad). Moreover, this technology works in text documents and spreadsheets, and in the new Google Drawings. ***
