I would like Google Docs to automatically correct misspellings, not underline them for me to manually correct. Is this possible?

For example "https://google.com ".

Google Docs cannot automatically correct miss-spellings, only underline them. You could try to search for an add-on that will do that. Just click the Add-Ons button in the menu.
