When/how do we get access to this? Asking for a friend...

About time Google Docs got an update..! Looks like they cribbed the best ideas from modern document collaboration suites, so that's a good place to start — but will it be enough? And will they try to innovate or get bogged down for another 12 years after this launch?

@chrismessina Google is so slow to move that it has given so many startups the opportunity

Good stuff but until we get an easy way to navigate across all content on GDrive, we won't move off of Notion. Breadcrumbs, Navigation Panel, etc are simple usability paradigms that increase productivity by 10x and remove friction completely.

About time to link all different Google files together... but I don't believe this is bringing them anywhere close to Notion to be honest.

Google has an answer to everything. It's easy to use and a better alternative to Notion, considering how easy it is in linking documents.

@chadwilken Hi Chad, why do you hate Notion?
Chad Wilken
@ewan_matthew the search is horrible, the functionality breaks all the time, we've lost plenty of pieces of content. I just can't stand anything about how it functions, it doesn't work how I would like it to.
