Gmail's quick-access panel is making its way to Google Docs and Calendar

With the release of the Gmail redesign, Google introduced a quick-access panel. The panel allows users to quickly some of the search giant’s other services such as Tasks and Keep. Google announced on its G Suite blog that it will now be bringing the quick-access panel to Calendar and the Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drawings.

Google touts the quick-access panel as a way for users to be more productive. Instead of having to leave a page or open up a new tab, users can quickly jot down a note or add an event to their calendar.

As you can see from the animation above, the side panel stays minimalized until you want to access it. But by clicking on any of the icons, you can quickly view calendar events as well as edit invites, view notes, and add things to your to-do list.

Users can expect to see the changes fully rolled out within the next two weeks.
