How to Assign Tasks to Multiple People
Assigning tasks in Google Docs isn’t always easy, especially with the comments feature. One person at a time is all that you can give out tasks. As an alternative, the suggestions tool can be utilized to assign tasks to more than one person at the same time.
Step 1: Open Google Docs Document and Click on the Editing (Pencil) Icon
On the top right corner, click the pencil icon. Now select “Suggesting” from the dropdown menu.
Step 2: Select Suggesting from the drop down
Place the cursor where the task assignment is needed and hit space, revealing a suggestions dialog box.
Step 3: Hightlight the text, Mention and Assign
@Mention the individuals, add the task, and click “Reply” to notify everyone added to the suggestion.
The comments feature only lets you give tasks to one person at a time, but the suggestion feature is a useful way to give tasks to multiple people at the same time in Google Docs. The fact that it is only applicable to Docs and has strict guidelines for where the cursor must be placed are two of its limitations.
