How to Do Footnotes in Google Docs?
Checklist of crucial points we aim to highlight here:
  1. Inserting Footnotes

So, in this tutorial, we insert and edit footnotes in Google Docs.

 

Footnotes in Google Docs are, basically, a note, commentary, explanation, or a citation of a reference work, etc., put at the bottom of a page in the document, which you want to leave for a reader apart from the main text. And in the document, that is also a link to that footnote. Normally it is put at the end of a chapter, volume, or the whole text. And let’s create a few footnotes for ourselves.

 

Watch the video from https://thegoodocs.com/ and find out how to do footnotes in Google Docs:

Inserting Footnotes

Footnotes insertion in the Google Doc is really simple.

  • On the document, put the cursor where you want the footnotes to appear on the document. Like next to that exact word or phrase that you want to leave a note about (we will put a cursor in a random place in the text just to show a sample). Then we open the “Insert” item on the toolbar on top of the page and go down directly to the “Footnote” line and press it

  • That will send us to the bottom of the page with a newly created space for a footnote below such a line where we enter that extra data, paste a link, mention some work or a person, etc.. And there you have it

  • And if we go back to the text, you'll see that it created this little number where the cursor was at that moment

NB! And since it is a link, if you double-click it, that will send you to that description at the bottom of the page.

NB! And when you create a footnote once again on the same page, it will similarly create the following number with a link, but at the bottom, it will simply insert that number instead of creating a new footnote.

NB! If you do a footnote on a new page, in the same way, it will create a new space for a footnote at the bottom of the current page.

We hope this tutorial will help you learn how to do footnotes in Google Docs. Good luck!
