Give your templates a refresh in the new document editor
Friday, August 5, 2011
We continue to add new features like
pagination
and
discussions
to the
new document editor
, and we want to make sure you always have access to all of the latest functionality -- whether you’re creating a new doc from scratch or using a template from the gallery. As part of this effort, we’re removing Google Docs templates created in the old document editor from the Google Docs
template gallery
.
Starting on
September 30th
, old style templates will remain accessible to their owners and to anyone who the template has been shared with, but they will no longer be visible in the public gallery. This will only apply to the public Google Docs template gallery; templates created in Google Apps domains will not be affected by this change.
You can ensure your templates remain in the gallery by converting them to the new document editor. Just follow these simple steps:
Open the document from your documents list
Click the
Preview
link at the top of the document to see what it looks like in the new editor
From inside the preview window, click the
Update this document
link
When old style templates are removed from the gallery on September 30th, the template owners will still be able to restore the templates to the gallery by upgrading them to the new editor.
By making this change, we hope to bring the best possible experience to more documents.
