so Google Tasks has added a new ability that connects Google Documents with Google Tasks I'm
going to show you how it works in today's video if you're new here to keep productive please hit
subscribe it'd be amazing to have you here as a subscriber let's dive into this tutorial you have
always been able to see this on the right hand side ever since they introduced Google Tasks
you've been able to add a task to the right hand side but you've never really been able
to connect anything on here and assign it to other people this is a new feature that they've
added more recently in Google workspace accounts I'll include some of the information about where
they're placing this in the article below however I believe it's in a few places like workspace
basic accounts I think but I'll list it below so you know and whether it's applicable to you so
in smart canvas which is the fairly new abilities you can add things like building blocks files and
lists Etc which they're continually looking to add to but if you type in tasks so you can see that
the task is added and you can see that you can now add and connect a Google task and it is the
same thing so if I type in say this is a meeting note write report and you can see that I've added
the Steve to assign this so you can add this to any team members and I could say tomorrow so if
I press assign as a task you can now see that this is a task that lives within your Google Document
and you can see here that you can update the task title to match the document if you wanted to
however otherwise this is a task assigned to Steve which is perfect because I can now give him stuff
to do inside of Google Documents but it's helpful because he can take this off and I can be able to
collaborate with him after each of the meetings and you can see who it's assigned by as well
and even delete it too the reason you would update the task title to match the document
is the assignee will see the changes and I'll be able to relevantly see okay this is the editor
review page and I'll be able to get that now over on this side you will not be able to see it as a
task that you have in your system however if I did go ahead and write myself a task like reach
out to Bob and go over here and assign it to myself
and give it a date of on Monday a sign as a task I should be able to now see this as part
of a task so you can start to see it pop up in the top right hand corner but what's nice is
if I click into this I can see the actual the document that's relatedly to and it's brought
up my emoji now in this right hand side now if I want to I can now open this up on the right hand
side to find the task and it's a better way to connect everything together so this is not only
perfect for meeting notes but it's perfect for a lot of collaboration that goes unmissed inside
of your Google Drive account the smart canvas is continually improving they've more recently
added better ways to improve the page setup so you can go pageless now if I go and press ok
what happens is it's almost extensive like Coda and well not like notion does but similar to how
they do it in terms of that and they're investing a lot more in connecting the experiences up
now we recently did dummy's guide to Google keep but you can basically create a note and
connect it to your docs so be interesting to see how things are created later you can also
connect calendar to your drive now which is a nice addition so hopefully you found this new
ability in Google tasks to be helpful please do let me know what you think of it and of
course Steve will be able to collaborate with this in real time and be able to tick this off
I'm sure thank you very much folks and I hope you found this video useful please do become a
