How to Type Bullet Points on Chromebook

Google Docs is a very effective web application used for documentation purposes in Chromebooks and helps keep track of lists. It would be great if you could add some bullet points to accentuate the points rather than just listing the elements one after the other without any visual clues.

The reader can more readily understand crucial ideas and find specific important information by using bullet points. In this article, I’ll explain how to add bullet points on Chromebook using four simple techniques.
