    Strikethrough is one of the important aspects of a document. It is very essential when you are performing a task. Instead of deleting the text, you can strike it through to indicate that the task is completed. Most of the document editors come in-built with this feature and so does Google Docs. In Google Docs, you can strikethrough Text in two different ways.

    Why you need Strikethrough?

    1. If you are a list maker, then nothing will satisfy you like crossing items off your list. Strikethrough plays an important role in list-making and task assigning.
    2. While typing large texts, you might get confused about deleting which content. At such times, you can just strike it and later decide about deleting.
    3. Do you want to insist on your change of thoughts? Strikethrough will help you to do so. Bloggers will use this to add some humor or sarcasm to their blog.
    4. If you are formating your text and highlighting important points, then strikethrough will help you in the best way.

    These are a few ways of using strikethrough and there are plenty of other uses as well which depends on each user.
