Google Docs is one of the best ways to create and edit documents, especially when you want to collaborate with other people. Google also usually rolls out new features on a regular basis, and now another helpful addition has arrived — a menu for quickly inserting names, file links, media, and other information without reaching for your mouse.
"We’ve added a universal insertion menu to easily add things like tables and images," Google wrote in a blog post, "in addition to smart chips, directly in Google Docs. Simply type '@', and you’ll see a list of recommended files, people, meetings, as well as different content elements and formats to insert into your work. You can also search all available components."

5. Choose the document to insert and click "Select"
6. You may wish to change the display settings of the object, then click "Save"

8. You may wish to continue editing. Click "Save" when done
9. You will now see embedded document within your page
Note:
- The inserted object (i.e. Doc, Spreadsheet, Presentation or Form) will be view-only to the public. However, when the contents of the objects are updated at its source, it is updated automatically within your site.
- You'll need to make sure that the object is shared with the members of your site in order to avoid an Insufficient Privileges error.
- Anyone with "Can edit" access to your site/object will be able to view a link under each embedded object that will allow them to pop out an editable version of the object.
