Google Docs wants to replace your project management tool with these features

• Google Docs has gained new dropdown and table tools for collaborative project management.
• The new dropdown chips allow you to add menus to your document with a list of customizable options.
• You can also insert table templates into Docs to indicate common project workflows.

Since the introduction of the Smart Canvas update last year, the online word processor has evolved into a collaboration tool. The productivity service wants to be a replacement for project management software like Notion or Asana.

There are two new additions to the feature set of Docs, including table templates. The first allows you to add a menu with preset options to your document. You can change the color and name of the options to help the team keep track of the status of the project.

There are two options that you can add to your document, project status and review status.

The table templates can help turn a plain table into something interesting. Tracking project assets is one of the tasks these templates can be used for.

Dropdown chips and table templates are part of the ongoing efforts to make Docs your go-to service for all things collaborative. Over the past few months, the service has gained new capabilities, including the ability to insert rich content without changing apps.

Over the next two weeks, the latest features will be available across all of the plans.
