Get the Most Out of Google Docs with These URL Tricks

Google Docs

Google docs come with some neat URL tricks to use them according to your need.

Here we go...

Create new document directly from URL:
https://docs.new

If you are signed in with multiple accounts, then https://docs.new/2 will create new document with 2nd account, /3 for 3rd account, and so on.

This is the document that I get now, and we will use this for our tricks:
