S2E8: Smart Canvas and Pageless in Docs launching, Search Chips in Drive, ChromeOS Flex, and more
Google came out of the gate swinging this week with a whole bunch of announcements. Interestingly, only 4 of them made it on the official Workspace Updates blog, and the rest were through other blog posts and news releases.
I tried something new with the sound this week, so let me know if this improves your listening experience. :-)
