Proton Docs: Formatting Limitations
Proton Docs lacks advanced formatting capabilities compared to Google Docs, making it unsuitable for professional documents. Essential features are missing: headers/footers, multi-column layouts, footnotes, table of contents, watermarks, and customizable paragraph styles. This forces users to choose between privacy and professional presentation quality. Proton should prioritize implementing these formatting tools to become a viable alternative for privacy-conscious professionals.

Some of these features are a matter of convenience but footnotes are essential for any academic writing. Paginated views (set to a defined paper size) would also be invaluable. Given the current boycott of big tech in the US, this is a critical moment to address Proton Drive's missing essential features.

I second this, but I would also love to see the document tab features (something that makes working with document trees WAAAAAY easier)

Multi-column would be great, maybe being able to select an area between 2 dividers to be multi-column could be a great clean way to add it

I'm copying data over that is formatted month/day/year and want to be able to sort the data chronologically, but the only date format available is day/month/year.

Yep, I was thinking specifically about styles so that if we want to add a header for example, we can just click the "Header" style, way more convenient than having to make the text bold, make it bigger, center it and make it light blue

Agree. This is crucial.
