Starting today, users of the Google Docs app will see an update arrive in the Play Store. The update benefits users of the Office Compatibility Mode and those who have be trying to insert links into documents.

The following was included in the changelog for the update:

Support for selecting, cutting, copying and pasting text along with images, tables, and charts in Office Compatibility Mode
Ability to insert links in Google documents

A slow, staged release track for the update is not the case here. Instead, Google has opted for a “rapid release.” That means all users should see the update within the next few days rather than weeks.
