G Suite Updates:
Due to all the beginning of the school year fun, I'm way behind in communicating upcoming G Suite updates. Here's my attempt to catch you up. I'll continue featuring all the updates that happened in the past few months in the next several posts.
With the recent upgrade to the new Gmail, Contacts is no longer where you left it. You used to access contact within Gmail by clicking on Mail in the upper left corner to access Contacts and Tasks. Now where are they? Contacts now has its own icon in the app switcher, just like Drive, Calendar, etc., and can be accessed from any of the core G Suite apps. It can also be found by entering contacts.google.com in the URL bar. Simply click on the waffle in the upper right of one of the core G Suite Apps screens (Mail, Calendar, Drive, etc.), and select Contacts. (See image at left.) Tasks now appear in the sidebar to the right of Mail.

Propose a New Meeting Time in Google Calendar
Arriving last month, was the new ability for anyone invited to a meeting to propose a new day/tine for the meeting. In addition to responding Yes, No or Maybe, any invitee can also select Propose a New Time. Check out the full details here.
Don't you just hate it when you paste some text into a document and it has different formatting than the rest of your text? There's a keyboard command for that with both PCs and Macs.
Have you ever been asked what operating system or OS your device is using? Have you ever wondered exactly what Windows, iOS, Android, Linux, etc. do? Here you go.
Remember when you could put a CD or DVD into your Windows PC and play it? Then Windows 10 came along, and there was no video player included anymore. Some laptops come with a video player app provided by the manufacturer. If yours doesn't have one, check out these options.
Convert Old Google Sites
Over the summer, Google pushed out a Google Sites Automatic Conversion Tool. If you have any sites that were created in the old Google Sites, you will either want to delete them, if they are not in use, or convert them to the new Sites. Old Google Sites will eventually be going away, so you will want to take care of your old sites, especially if you plan to continue using them. You can follow these instructions to convert your sites. Full details on how to use this tool, as well as what to expect when converting your sites are available here.New Themes to Customize Google Forms and Quizzes
There are new theme options you can use to customize Forms and Quizzes in Google Forms. You will have the ability to choose colors and fonts for your form, as well as a theme and background color. Sadly, there still isn't the ability to use rich text formatting, such as bold, italics, etc. in your text. Hopefully this will come in a future update. Here are the full details and instructions for using the new feature.
