Looking for tips for Google Spreadsheet and can’t find any new search results? The reason is you’re using the wrong name.
A slight change to Google Apps in October may have caught some unawares. Last year Google changed the names of the three key apps in its cloud productivity suite Google Apps.
Google Documents was renamed to Docs, Google Spreadsheets to Sheets and Google Presentations to Slides.
Chrome browser users could add one-click shortcuts for new documents in each of the apps by adding them as web apps through the Chrome Web Store.
Searches for “Google Docs” can be highly confusing. Google Docs used to be the name of Google Apps’ document storage and collaboration platform, renamed Google Drive last year. The Google Docs versus Documents naming confusion was the result of messy acquisitions, Google told BoxFreeIT in an earlier interview.
