Following on from the launch of new templates for Google Slides, Google Docs has now got 40 new page-less templates.
The new launches promise time savings for users as they make it quicker to create blog posts, press releases, business proposals, and journals, among other more specialist options.
Google is already taking on Microsoft 365’s suite with AI tools for Google Docs, including a generative AI option to help users rewrite their copy using a specified “tone”. This latest launch is targeting both enterprise and consumer users, and is going to be followed by more template options “in the coming months”.
What are the new launches?
Google has published a blog piece laying out exactly what Workspace users can now access. It promises that the templates are “high-quality, visually modern designs”.
It adds that they will “…help users save time since they don’t have to build documents from scratch” and this will “…enable them to be more productive with the latest Docs features in their daily processes”.

As well as the templates that will have a wide appeal across the enterprise space, there are also more specialized templates. These include a project roadmap, marketing plan, and sales emails for business users. HR teams have an interview guide, onboarding guide, and training manual, while those in education can now use a reading list and class notes templates for education users.
Additional Features
Using its Gemini AI capabilities, this month also sees Google launch a new feature called “Help me create”. Accessible using the Google Docs toolbar, this feature allows users to put in a prompt to describe exactly what they want their document to be. They can also pull in content from any files using @ filename”, whether text, cover images, in-line images or tables.
As Google explains: “A manager can create a vision document to keep their team on track by telling Gemini: Create an overview document of our team charter and goals based on [Team charter brainstorm notes], and include a cover image that shows team bonding in an office setting.”
How Do I Access the New Templates?
The new arrivals will start to appear from today for both rapid release and scheduled release domains, but Google does add that the roll-out could take up to 15 days.
To access the new templates, users can just select a new template building block when they open a blank Google Docs document. They can also use the Google Docs toolbar, selecting File > New > From the template gallery.
