How to Use The Grammarly Sidebar in Google Docs

In Google docs, you can review the writing suggestions by Grammarly in two ways:

  • Hover your cursor over words or texts with a red underline to view Grammarly’s suggestions. You can either accept the edits or dismiss them.
  • The Grammarly icon in the bottom right corner displays the proposed edits. Click on the icon to open the Grammarly sidebar. You will find the suggested modifications listed here.

You can go through the list individually, accepting or dismissing the suggestion. Click on the modifications you want to go through. Then, click the trash can button below the suggested edit to dismiss a suggestion.

Recently, we noticed Grammarly added an update to the Google Doc extension. Previously, you could only check for premium mistakes by tapping the Grammarly icon on the left side of your screen. Although there were red underlines to detect basic grammar mistakes, Grammarly made the work easier by showing all the errors by underlining them in different colors. 

For instance, now you can see the clarity, engagement, and grammar corrections on the go as you type on Google Docs. However, the new feature has some glitches, but on the other hand, it can help you save plenty of time as you can click on the error, and Grammarly will automatically correct it for you! 

How do I enable Grammarly on iOS?
