Google on Tuesday announced updates for its Docs, Sheets,
and Slides platforms, with new editing options for making "documents,
spreadsheets, and presentations more beautiful and useful."
The
company published a Google+
post saying that
Docs now has the ability to merge cells together in a table.
Additionally,
Google Docs users will be able to customise images right inside a
document without leaving it. These added customisation options include
recolouring images, changing its transparency, brightness, and more,
apart from already available customisation options of colouring tables
and managing line thickness.
For Slides, users will now be able to add slide numbers to a presentation (see above).
Last
month, the company had
unveiled
a new feature for Hangouts video calls that allowed users to share
Drive files without having to leave the conversation window. During a
Hangouts video call, users will see a Google Drive icon on the bottom
right corner of the conversation to select the file that they want to
share as a link. Upon selecting the file link, the chat window will also
show a preview of the file contents, "even when other participants
don't have their chat window open."
"When you're meeting with your
colleagues remotely you want to get things done quickly, and
face-to-face conversation is still the fastest and simplest way to
communicate. Today, #Hangouts is making collaboration even easier by
letting you share links to Drive files without ever leaving your
conversation,"
noted Google for Work on its
Google+ post.
