Why you’d use it 

This feature boosts productivity and saves time by helping you quickly access Docs smart canvas features like email drafts, meeting notes, and search for more.

Additional details

The row of buttons will only appear at the top of newly created or empty Google Docs, meaning you will not see these options in documents with existing content.
