What’s changing
Google Drive is designed to work with keyboards, screen readers, braille devices, screen magnification, and more. Today, we’re excited to improve the accessibility of Google Drive by enabling first-letters navigation.
First-letters navigation enables users to quickly and easily navigate a list of items in Drive via keypress. Users can move focus within a file list in Drive by pressing the first letter(s) of the file’s name. Pressing the same letter again will navigate to the next item starting with that letter.
In order to support first-letters navigation on Drive, we are migrating the existing single-letter shortcuts on Drive to multi-key shortcuts.
Additional details
Starting today, you can begin opting into the new shortcuts immediately through a banner notification in Drive or by going to Drive > Settings > Keyboard shortcuts > Update now. On August 1, 2024, Drive keyboard shortcuts will be automatically updated to first-letters navigation for all users. Once shortcuts are updated, you will also be able to see shortcuts where applicable in menus and on hover in toolbars in Drive.

What’s changing
We’re making it easier to manage your AppSheet users with the introduction of AppSheet Organizations. An AppSheet organization creates organization administrators with a centralized tool to manage all of the teams in the organization and delegate team management responsibilities to team administrators.
This chart shows the hierarchical relationship between an organization, and its teams and members.
An organization is based on a Workspace organization and is tied to your
primary domain. One organization can contain multiple teams based on
Google groups and Workspace organizations.
Who’s impacted
Admins
Why you’d use it
AppSheet organizations significantly simplify the management of users and policies across all their AppSheet teams. Admins can:
Access self-serve tools to make changes that formerly required manual Support team intervention.Create and manage organization-level policies that apply to all teams and manage individual team policies.Create new teams with distinct admins, users and policies as needed. Admins can also independently assign or remove team, root, or organization administrator roles of any user.
Additional details
Support for non-Google authenticated users
For new and existing customers with AppSheet Organizations, any user from your verified primary or secondary domains that does not authenticate through Google will be shown in your domain-based teams alongside any group-based teams that have been created. These users will be subject to the same policies and team settings that apply to your users that authenticate through Google.

What’s changing
In the last year, we’ve made numerous improvements to Google Chat that help you stay on top of the busy flow of communication and make it easier to prioritize and find the conversations that are most important to you. However, there are some conversations where you always need to be notified, like spaces dealing with customer support or operational issues.
For conversations that require a higher level of attention, we’re introducing a new “notify all” functionality for in-line threaded spaces. If this option is selected, you will be notified of all new messages in the space. This includes receiving notifications for all
@ mentions,
threads followed, and even threads that you do not follow, allowing you to stay on top of everything happening in a conversation.
The options within notification settings are being updated to: “All”, “Main conversations”, “For you”, and “None” so that you can better tailor your notifications preferences for in-line threaded spaces.
Getting started
Admins: There is no admin control for this feature. End users: To update your notification settings in a space, click the three dots (more options) next to the space name > Notification settings > select an option for notifications. Or you can click the space header > Notifications > select an option for notifications. Visit the Help Center to learn more about
customizing notifications for a space with in-line threading. Rollout pace
