Located in the upper left corner of the window is a clickable field, if creating a new document, this field will display ‘Untitled document.’ Adding a cursor to this file will automatically add the first few lines of text from the body of the document, assigning it as the document title. Google Docs provides the ability to add a unique title to a document. Clicking on the summary tab will reveal the title field, enter a title that is meaningful and communicates the overall topic of the document.

Titles are typically defined in a Document Properties or similar dialog, separate from the document itself.
