New features in Google Docs and Google Sites
August 19th, 2010 | Published in Google Docs, Google Apps, Google Enterprise
Google’s multi-tenant infrastructure allows us to launch new features to our customers seamlessly, and with over 50 launches in first half of this year alone, the pace of innovation in Google Apps continues to accelerate.
Today we keep up the innovation with several new updates in Google Sites and Google Docs. We’ve improved Google Sites with several highly-requested features including horizontal navigation, global footers, and a new section for deleted items.
Horizontal navigation enables site owners to easily add links across the top of their sites.
Site owners can also add a global footer that displays across all pages on a site, and we added a new section for deleted items in sites, making it easier to get to deleted pages and attachments.
We’ve also added quick links to open Google Docs that are embedded in a site, making it easier for collaborators to open embedded documents.
For more information on these new features in Google Sites, check out the Google Docs blog.
In addition to these updates to Google Sites, this week we also launched several improvements in Google Docs:
As with all updates on Google Apps, users can get new features just by refreshing their browsers, and improvements roll out to customers with no need for administrators to manage patches or install software.
Stay tuned for more updates to Google Docs and Google Sites.

In addition to these updates to Google Sites, this week we also launched several improvements in Google Docs:
- Typing links just got a little faster in Google documents. Now when you type something that we recognize as a web address, it will automatically become a link.
- We’ve also added a few more page sizes for your documents. So if you’ve been craving an Executive sized page (7.25” x 10.5”), you’re in luck. For more information on autolinks and page sizes, head to the Google Docs blog.
- Correct spelling is an essential part of document creation, and to that end we’ve added spellcheck to Google spreadsheets. For more information on spelling checker in spreadsheets, visit the Google Docs blog.
