How to Keep Your Chrome Tabs Tidy: A Friendly Guide

How to Keep Your Chrome Tabs Tidy: A Friendly Guide


Hey there! If you're anything like me, you've probably found yourself drowning in a sea of browser tabs. You know, when you're trying to juggle work, check out the latest news, and maybe sneak in a bit of online shopping—all at the same time. Well, I stumbled upon a super cool feature in Chrome that's been a total game-changer for me, and I just have to share it with you. It's all about organizing your tabs into neat little groups, and yes, it's as awesome as it sounds!

Let's Dive Into Chrome Tab Groups

Imagine having all your tabs sorted into cute little bundles, each with its own color. That's what Chrome Tab Groups is all about. It's perfect for anyone looking to declutter their digital space and make their online life a bit more manageable. And the best part? It's super easy to get started.

Step-by-Step: Creating Your First Tab Group

  • Just right-click on any tab you've got open and look for the "Create new group" option. Click it, and you're on your way.
  • Give your new group a name that makes sense to you. Maybe "Morning Musts" for all your start-the-day sites, or "Work Stuff" for everything job-related. Then, pick a color for the group. This makes it super easy to spot at a glance.
  • Now, just drag other tabs into your newly created group. You'll see them snuggle up under the group's name, all nice and organized.

Keeping Your Groups for Later

Here's where it gets even cooler. Chrome now lets you save these tab groups. Yep, no more losing all your neatly organized tabs when you close Chrome. Just right-click on the group and select "Save Group." The next time you fire up Chrome, your groups will be waiting for you, right there in the bookmark bar. It's like magic!

Why This Rocks

I've been using this feature to keep my online life sorted, and it's been a lifesaver. For example, I made a group for a conference I attended, saving all the session resources in one easy-to-find spot. No more frantic searching for that one tab I accidentally closed. It's all right there, organized and ready when I am.

Give It a Try!

So, why not give it a whirl? Start grouping and saving your tabs today. It's a small change that can make a big difference in how you browse. Plus, it's kind of fun to see your browser looking all neat and color-coordinated. Happy tabbing!

Force users to make a copy of a document

I share a lot of documents with people. Either teachers I work with in my district or educators I talk to at conferences. I also share a lot of resources on my district training site. One thing I've started doing recently is forcing people to make a copy of a document, so they automatically get a copy of the resources or HyperDoc saved into their Google Drive folder. Here is how you do that" 1. Make the document available so anyone with the link can view. 2. Copy the share link 3. Open a new tab in Chrome and paste the copied link in the address bar 4. At the end of the URL, delete everything up to the backslash ( / ) 5. Type the word "copy" after the /  6. Copy the new link (or shorten it) and share the link on your site, blog, presentation, via email. 7. When someone clicks on the new link they will be forced click the "Make a copy" button to access the file and that copy will be saved to their Google Drive folder.  8. Not
