G Suite Updates:
Google Drive Changes Coming
Just when you are getting use to the changes in Gmail (or are contemplating doing so), Google will soon be pushing out changes to the look of Google Drive in your web browser next. Most of the changes are cosmetic, so it matches the look of the new Gmail - rounded corners, white background, Drive logo in the upper left, DOGR logo in the upper right. You will, however, want to know where you can find help and the gear. Those two icons will be moving up a row, so they will be in line with, and just to the right of the Search box. Full details, as well as images, can be found in the G Suites Updates Blog.
You can look forward to Forms automatically suggesting answers to quiz questions, the ability to automatically grade grid questions, giving partial points when grading a quiz, provide video feedback, and see the total point tally while creating a quiz.
Gmail Nudges Remind You to Respond
One of the new features coming to the new Gmail are nudges. A nudge will remind you to respond to emails you may have either missed, or have become buried in your inbox and you've forgotten to follow up on. When this new feature appears, you can choose to turn it off in Gmail Settings if you find you dislike it. Check out the G Suites Updates Blog for all the details.Six New Features Coming to Google Forms
