15 December 22: Editor improvements, and more

We've worked on GitBook's overall editor experience, improving reliability, copy/paste from multiple sources and speedy shortcuts.

Improved

Copy/Paste from Google Docs

Copying and pasting content from Google Docs into GitBook is now faster and more reliable, maintaining the formatting and structure of content created in Google Docs. Headings, lists, and more save their formatting as you paste them in GitBook.
