Bullets are a great way to organize your thoughts and ideas in Google Docs, but sometimes you need a little more organization than what regular bullets can provide. Adding sub-bullets, also called nested bullets, gives you that extra layer of structure so related points sit neatly under a main idea.
To create sub-bullets in Google Docs, simply:
Step 1
Open the Google Docs where you want to make the sub-bullets.
Step 2
Click the bulleted list icon in the toolbar. This will begin a new bulleted list.
Step 3
Type out the first item in your list. To create a sub-bullet, press Tab on your keyboard. This will indent the bullet and create a new level.
Step 4
Type out your second item. To create another sub-bullet, press Tab again. You can continue to press Tab to create additional levels of sub-bullets.
To go back to the previous level, press Shift+Tab. This will un-indent the bullet and take you back to the previous level. The same indenting trick works in numbered lists too, so you can mix nested numbers and bullets in the same document.
Conclusion
That’s all there is to it! By using the Tab key, you can easily create sub-bullets in Google Docs. It is a quick way to keep your thoughts and ideas grouped in a clear order. Thanks for reading!
