Google announced a new feature for Google Docs called “Smart Quote.” This tool helps users find and insert quotes from their documents quickly. Many people need to reference information while writing reports or emails. Finding the right quote often means scrolling through pages. Now it’s easier.

Google Docs users see the Smart Quote icon in the toolbar. Clicking it opens a sidebar. The sidebar shows quotes pulled directly from the current document. Quotes appear in the order they are written. Users can scan the list for the information they need. Clicking a quote inserts it directly into the document at the cursor’s position. This saves significant time.
The feature is helpful for long documents. People working on research papers, project proposals, or detailed reports benefit most. Needing to reference earlier points is common. Smart Quote eliminates manual searching. It helps maintain writing flow. Users stay focused on their ideas.
Google added Smart Quote based on user feedback. People wanted faster ways to reuse their own content. The tool uses existing document text. It doesn’t require special formatting. Any text in the document is potential quote material. Smart Quote works automatically.
