Google Workspace Changes

Menu and toolbar updates across Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides to improve item discoverability.

Google is updating the menus and toolbars in the web versions of Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides. Key changes include moving text formatting to a 'Text' submenu in Docs and Slides, removing the Table menu in Docs and Slides (moving options to Insert and Format), and adding a 'Move' submenu in Slides. Additionally, the Google Docs toolbar now features separate controls for text and highlight colors, and the Insert menu has been reordered across all three editors.

Introducing Activity dashboard in Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides to track file views.

Google is introducing the Activity dashboard for Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, allowing users with edit access to see who has viewed a file and when. G Suite administrators can control the visibility of this data at the domain or organizational unit level through the Admin console, and individual users can manage their own privacy settings to exclude their viewing data from the dashboard.
