<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Quick launch summary </h3>
We’re making two Google Docs assistive writing features—<a href="https://gsuiteupdates.googleblog.com/2020/02/smart-compose-ga.html" target="_blank">Smart Compose</a> and <a href="https://gsuiteupdates.googleblog.com/2020/02/autocorrect-docs-ga.html" target="_blank">Autocorrect</a>—available to G Suite for Education, G Suite Enterprise for Education, and G Suite for Nonprofits users.<br />
<br />
These features add to other intelligent assistive writing features, such as <a href="https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/productivity-collaboration/using-neural-machine-translation-to-correct-grammatical-in-google-docs" target="_blank">neural grammar correction in Gmail</a>, which help G Suite for Education users write more quickly and efficiently. The new features were previously available to other G Suite editions, but not G Suite for Education customers. Users can choose to turn each feature on or off.<br />
<br />
<b>Autocorrect in Google Docs </b><br />
Autocorrect helps you compose documents quickly and with confidence. Misspelled words will automatically be corrected while typing and denoted with a grey dashed underline. As you continue typing, this dashed line will disappear. It will be available for Google Docs on the web in English. <a href="https://gsuiteupdates.googleblog.com/2020/02/autocorrect-docs-ga.html" target="_blank">See more information on autocorrect in Docs here</a>.<br />
<br />
<b>Smart Compose in Google Docs </b><br />
Smart Compose helps you compose high-quality content faster by cutting back on repetitive writing while reducing the chance of spelling and grammatical errors. It will be available for Google Docs on the web in English. <a href="https://gsuiteupdates.googleblog.com/2020/02/smart-compose-ga.html" target="_blank">See more information on Smart Compose in Docs here</a>.<br />
