Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides Get a Stylish Makeover

Get ready for a fresh look! Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides have just rolled out eye-catching Material 3 Expressive updates that completely revamp the user experience.

What’s New in the Editor Interface?

The centerpiece of this redesign is the new M3 Expressive progress indicator. Instead of the old-fashioned loading symbol, users will now see a sleek circular component with a wavy design, adding a modern touch while you wait for documents to open.

Enhanced Button Designs and Functional Menus

But that’s not all! The interface now features dynamic, pill-shaped buttons that shine when sharing or indicating that you’ve finished editing. Say goodbye to bland dropdown menus; the new format sheet slides up with stylish pill-shaped options instead of the typical rounded rectangles.

Simplified List Management with the Split Button

Creating bulleted and numbered lists just got easier! The new split button component provides efficient access, although it’s worth noting that the menu button spins without changing shape when active.

Additional Google Workspace Features Unveiled

In exciting news for Google Workspace customers, last week’s announcements revealed that AI Pro/Ultra subscribers can now harness Gemini’s powerful 1 million token context window when accessing PDFs on Google Drive. This means you can analyze up to 1,500 pages of text to receive even more insightful responses.

Stay Tuned for More Innovations!

With these thrilling updates, Google is clearly stepping up its game. Get ready to enjoy a more vibrant and functional experience in all your favorite Google productivity apps!
