Add items with the @ menu

You can use the @ menu to link to people, files, and events, and add items to a Google Doc.

With the @ menu, you can add:

• Smart chips that show information and suggested actions for people, places, files, events.
• Building blocks, including:
  • Email drafts and meeting notes
  • Custom building blocks
    • Custom building blocks aren't shareable. Only the building block creator can reuse the building block. Other users can copy the template and create their own custom building block.
• Other elements to your doc, including:
  • Dropdowns, checklists, numbered lists, and bulleted lists
  • Images, tables, and charts
  • Text headings and hyperlinks

Use the @ menu

1. On your computer, open a document in Google Docs.
2. Type "@".
3. Select from the list of suggestions.
   1. Tip: To narrow your suggestions, you can type letters, numbers, or symbols after the "@". For example, to insert an email draft into your doc, type “@email” and press Enter.
