TL;DR
- Google Search’s AI Mode no longer offers the direct “Export to Docs” shortcut in its three-dot menu.
- We’ve confirmed the removal on both desktop and mobile, and reverting to an older version of the Google app didn’t restore it.
- Gemini and NotebookLM still offer Docs export options, but Google hasn’t explained whether AI Mode’s shortcut will return.
Imagine researching a complicated topic with Google Search AI Mode, gathering explanations and useful information, then saving everything to Google Docs for later. Until recently, that last step took just a couple of taps. But Google appears to have quietly removed the shortcut from Search, frustrating users who relied on it to turn their searches into editable documents.
Several users have reported that the “Export to Docs” option has disappeared from the three-dot menu in Google Search AI Mode. We’ve confirmed the change on both desktop and mobile, where the menu now shows only one option: “About this response.” Similar complaints have also surfaced on Reddit.
