How To Enable Grammarly In Google Docs - Trusted Reviews

If you’re looking to improve your writing, Grammarly is a great tool that offers spelling advice, punctuation tips, language suggestions and more. Here’s how to enable the extension in Google Docs.

Grammarly is a handy addition to Google Docs, offering a level of insight that goes beyond what you get from Google’s built-in spelling and grammar suggestions.

A free account allows you to check up on your spelling, grammar, punctuation, and the conciseness of your writing, while a Premium one covers all of this and additional advice, such as tone adjustments, plagiarism detection, formality level and more.

When you enable the extension on Google Docs, Grammarly will present you with a sidebar, highlighting any corrections and recommendations it has to offer on the right side of your screen. There’s even a Set Goals panel that allows you to customise your audience, formality, domain and tone to receive more tailored feedback from the browser extension.

What you’ll need:

• Google Chrome
• The Grammarly extension
