Google @ Symbol
The introduction of the @ symbol used to be used for email addresses but started to become more than that. From usernames to tags, the @ symbol has evolved over the years. When it comes to Google Docs, however, another upgrade is bringing the symbol a step higher.
According to AndroidPolice, the @ symbol, ever since users started identifying email domains with the @ symbol, the circle-like-a-symbol has become even more powerful over time. On Google Docs, however, the @ symbol has started to become something of a really powerful key.
Google Docs Upgrades @ Symbol
No longer restrained to just mentioning people, users can now use the @ in order to bring up the universal insertion menu. This is for different types of formatting, media, and either other Drive files as well! This means users will be able to insert other files in Google Docs through the @ symbol.
It was noted that the universal @ symbol is one of Google Workspace's brand new smart canvas integrations. It currently looks like users will cut down on other tabs, pop-up prompts, and even some other trips up to the toolbar and its own contained menus as well.
What the @ Symbol Can be Used For
Google Workspace, G Suite Business, and G Suite Basic users will all get to @everything first, along with the Rapid Release domains that start their rollout. The Scheduled Release domains are said to hold off until November 1, 2021.
