G Suite Updates
Custom Headers/Footers in Sheets
You can now make your Google Sheets look better by creating custom headers and footers. You can include page numbers, the workbook title, sheet name, current date and current time. Each of those selections can be customized by selecting Edit Custom Fields, as well. It's also now possible to save your print settings for a sheet. We should start to see these changes within two weeks. For the full scoop, check out the G Suite Update blog.Slides Updates
There are several Google Slides updates to report. The first is a new integration with Google Keep. If you jot your ideas down in Keep, you can drag them into slides, and a new slide will automatically be created. Another helpful update is the ability to link slides from different presentations, so your slides automatically update. Additional updates include the ability to insert diagrams, viewing your slides in a grid of thumbnails, and a new skip slide feature. Add-ons have also been added to Slides for even more features. These add-ons include the ability to search for and add images from Adobe Stock from within Slides, as well as a Shutterstock editor to customize photos within Slides. Check out the details and screen shots for all these new updates at the G Suite Update blog.Drive Integrates with iOS Files App
