You can use bookmarks to create internal links in Google Docs. This is a useful feature to use if you have a long document with references to other sections within the same document. For example, you could write “As we discussed in section 4.2,” and add a link to the bookmark in section 4.2 that you are referencing. This lets readers click on that text and jump to the bookmark instead of having to scroll through your document to find it. You can bookmark glossary words, figures, and more.
Collages are a fun way to show multiple images at once. They can give viewers a feel for a whole event or theme without having to flip through multiple pictures. You can easily make a collage with Google Photos, which is my preferred service for backing up all my photos to the cloud. Check out my articles on other great features of Google Photos, such as creating movie montages, stories, and animations.
Your options are somewhat limited when you create a collage with Google Photos. You cannot change the order of the pictures in the collage any of the dimensions. That being said, Google Photos does produce aesthetically pleasing collages very quickly and easily. Use the steps in this tutorial to get started.
Siri is a helpful feature that I use all the time on my iOS device to set reminders, look up facts, and get weather forecasts. Siri has been around since iOS 5 was introduced back in 2011, and it has come a long way since then. Historically, users accessed Siri by pressing and holding down the home button. Newer phones and software make it possible to use Siri on some apple devices without having to touch your phone at all. This is great if you are trying to make a hands-free call while driving or if you want to use your phone when it is across the room from you. This features is called “Hey Siri” after the activation phrase. Here’s how to use it.

I belong to a large email group for my extended family. While the group is great for getting news from all my relatives, I occasionally get caught in a never-ending conversation about something I do not want to see such as a Halloween party that I will not be able to attend. My phone keeps buzzing with notifications from everyone chiming in about who can come and what they are bringing, sometimes even when I am trying to sleep. Fortunately, there is a way to mute or ignore responses to an email thread in Gmail. Muted email threads are not shown your your inbox, but they do not get deleted and will show up if you search for them. This is a really handy feature that I wish I had learned about ages ago.

Microsoft Outlook is one of the best mail applications for Windows. The more you use it, the more comfortable and intuitive it becomes. However, over the course of a few months, you may notice that your mailbox piles up and your Outlook’s processes start to slow down. You may also experience email corruption and data loss. You are at risk for these issues if you do not archive your mail items in Microsoft Outlook. Archiving is the process of removing old files from your current Outlook data file so that only current ones will remain. This will use fewer resources on your computer whenever you need to perform Outlook tasks and functions. The archived data can still be accessed anytime when you need it.
For most people, having a phone with a long battery life is essential. The Galaxy S7’s 3600 mAh battery capacity may be Samsung’s biggest battery to date, but saving your battery power is still a good idea. Though you can extend your phone’s battery life by enabling Power Saving Mode for your Android device, Samsung has raised the bar by allowing users to set up battery optimization for individual apps on the Galaxy S7. Battery optimization for apps saves power by limiting or disabling the background data and refreshing processes and by turning off notifications for applications that you select. This tutorial will guide you through the process.
In a previous post, I demonstrated how to highlight, underline, and strikethrough text in a PDF file using Mac’s built-in Preview app. This article will go a step farther and show you how to add text boxes to your PDFs, which is helpful if you want to add a bold note to a page or leave a note to future readers. Are you studying a PDF document for school or work? Put text boxes with key words in the margins so that you can refer back to important sections later. You can control the color of the text box background and border to make it stand out as boldly as you would like.
We have long been able to get directions to multiple destinations at once using Google Maps on our computers, but the mobile version has limited users to one destination at a time until recently. Newer versions of the Google Maps app allow users to add a stop to their navigation. Unfortunately, we are currently limited to one stop at a time, so we still need to use the web version of Google Maps to find routes with more than two destinations.
The addition of stops in the mobile app is mostly geared towards finding a gas station or a place to eat along your way, not planning extended road trips. I would like to see more of the desktop functionality added to the app, but for now, the single stop is a step in the right direction. Here’s how to use it.
