ICYMI in April: here’s what happened in G Suite
You might’ve seen the news. Gmail got a makeover.
Gmail’s new user interface was designed to help businesses accomplish more, in less time, from one spot.

→ Think macro and skip minutiae. Now you can record macros in Google Sheets—no code required.

→ Google Drive will share new prompts to help make sure you’re passing along files to the right people. Now if you try to send a file to someone without access, Drive will flag the name of the person and their email address to show you the access they need. These prompts also work for Team Drives.
→ We’ve made it easier for you to embed Slides directly into Docs. And the best part is any changes you make to a slide will automatically reflect in your Doc.
