We made it to Friday!

This week we have two tidbits for you in the wide world of Google.

First, Google Forms now prints in a nice clean fillable format.  If you need to print a form for any reason, you now have a nice clean form version. There is no special command or button, your form will print in fillable format automatically.

Example of printed fillable form.

Our second tidbit for the week is a new feature that is coming soon to your Google Drive! Drive makes group projects easier because everyone can share files and work together. But in today’s busy world, it’s tough to track the changes to all your shared to-do lists, budgets and presentations, especially when content changes so often. So starting soon, you’ll notice a new activity stream in Drive – a single, easy-to-view place to review every action taken on your files and folders.

When you open Drive, click the  button in the top right corner and the activity stream will appear, showing you who has taken action on files and folders in My Drive. You’ll see a rundown of what your team has been doing, such as editing and commenting on notes, adding a new spreadsheet, renaming a presentation, and more.


This is what the activity stream will look like when we get the update (notice the stream on the right side).

To learn more about the activity stream, click here to read the official blog post.

We hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend!
