Now you can assign tasks directly from Google docs.

Google just made it easier to assign tasks directly from Google docs. All you have to do is create a checklist and assign it to whoever you want.

These assigned tasks will show up in the task list of the relevant person and also if edits are made to an assigned item in Tasks, such as a change to the title, due date or completion state, those updates will show in the Doc, and vice versa.

Google mentioned that this will be available to everyone within the coming weeks.
