It’s only been a few weeks since I posted about updates to
Google, but there have been so many, I need to do a follow-up. Some of these
features will be available for all users, while some will be for users with an
Enterprise license. Bamberg 1 is in the process of rolling out Enterprise, and
hopefully this will be something that happens for Bamberg 2 very soon. So, without further delay, here are some
Google updates in which you might be interested:
Replace backgrounds in Meet- For a while now you could blur out your background. Well, now you can change your background with images provided by Google.
Check Permissions for all content in Google Slides- Sharing Slides with someone is easy, but often people forget that they have to share anything that they have inserted from their Google Drive, as well. Now, when you go to share your Slides with someone, Google will look for content that needs to be shared such as videos, audio clips, or images and give you the option to share that content.
Mention a user directly within a Google Doc- This has been a feature in comments and in Gmail for a while. All you have to do is type “@” and the person’s name. Click it when it pops up and it will add their account info into the document. This makes it easy to see and communicate with everyone that is working on a document.
Smart Fill and Smart Cleanup in Google Sheets- Not everyone uses spreadsheets, but those that do, know it can be difficult to write formulas that accurately give you the results you need. It can be worse when your data is written in different ways. Google has introduced Smart Fill and Smart Cleanup, which is very exciting. These features are new and still don’t work as well as promised, but when they do work properly, it is amazing. I can’t wait to see how this evolves.
There are always more updates, so expect more posts like this in the near future.
Not every update is good. If you use Google for personal use,
you should check out these two announcements that Google made yesterday:
Updating
Google Photos’ storage policy to build for the future
An update to
storage policies across your Google Account
