You can now save frequently used content as a reusable content block that you can personalize to your needs.

For example, you might create a project kickoff template to track milestones and tasks, a block of code, or a block of text that is commonly used by you. Instead of creating the template from scratch each time or searching for a template that you frequently copy/paste into a new Doc, you can save that snippet as a custom building block, and easily insert the content into other documents.

To create custom building blocks, select any part of a document that you have access to copy from > right click and select Save as custom building block > name the block and click Save.

Note: Custom building blocks are saved as documents in your Google Drive in a folder called "Custom Building Blocks (auto-generated)", where you can reorganize, edit, or delete those documents as you wish.
