JAKARTA - Google is starting to introduce the option to display line numbers in the Docs app or Documents set to page mode.

With this feature, Google can automatically assign a number to each row, which can then be configured by the user to reach all certain documents, pages or sections.

In addition, these numbers are maintained when the user prints a document. According to the company, this new feature will make it easier for users to refer to the position of certain content in the document.

Especially, when users collaborate with others on long or complicated content. For information, this feature is also present in Microsoft Word which supports numbered lines.

Not only the line number feature, Google also recently presented several features that give users more control over performance in Google Docs, such as seeing non-printing characters and improving content settings.

To use the new line number feature, the user must first add content in Google Docs. Then, select the Line Number click Tool and Show the row number.

From there, users can modify the row numbering mode and determine which part of the document the user wants to apply the number. There is no admin control to apply this feature.

The new feature will be available to all Google Workspace subscribers and users with a private Google Account in stages. This was quoted from The Verge, Tuesday, July 25.
