Organising you Documents

Searching for you Docs: Finding docs in the Docs list

There are a few ways to find a specific document, spreadsheet or presentation.

  • To quickly search for a document using a term contained in the title or body, simply enter this term in the search bar (at the top of the Docs list page), then click Search Docs. A list of documents, spreadsheets and presentations containing that term appears in your Docs list.
  • If you or one of your collaborators edited the document in the last 48 hours, it will be listed either in the Today or Yesterday section of the Docs list.
  • To find a document, spreadsheet or presentation that you shared with a specific collaborator, you can look in the Shared with... list (below Items by type in the Docs list page side bar). From here, click the collaborator's name, and all of the documents shared with that specific person will appear in your Docs list.
  • To locate a document that has been deleted (assuming the Bin hasn't been emptied), click the Bin icon under the All items section at the top of the Docs list page side bar.
  • If you've assigned a document to a specific folder, open this folder from the All folders section in the side bar. All of the documents, spreadsheets and presentations in the folder will appear in your Docs list.
