Google Docs will soon let users to apply actions on multiple texts in one click
Google Workspace Updates

Felt annoying applying the same stuff over and over again? Google has acknowledged it and added the ability to let you apply actions to multiple text selections at once.

A minor change but it's a really useful feature. For example, you want to apply the same format for the noscript across your documents, no need to change it one by one, just select all the noscripts and apply actions in one click.

This feature is already on Microsoft Word and will be available on Google Docs for Google Workspace customers over the coming week.

Google Drive gains keyboard shortcuts for basic actions
Google Workspace Updates

For quite some time, if you had want to make changes to files stored on Google Drive, you had to always use your mouse which some people finds it slow, but now moving files on Google Drive is getting easier with the addition of keyboard shortcuts.

Basic keyboard shortcuts like copy (Ctrl + C) and paste (Ctrl + V) are now available to use in Google Drive. When copying a file, the noscript and its link will be saved to your device's clipboard, and you can easily paste in a document or email for example. On the other side, if you paste it in other places, only the link will appear.

If you want to create a shortcut to a file, just copy the file first and press Ctrl + Shift + V. Opening file is as easy as selecting the files and pressing Ctrl + Enter, all of them will be opened in a new tab.

All these keyboard shortcuts only work if you are using Google Chrome, available for any type of accounts, including personal.

With Android 13, Google made some changes to the Pixel Launcher universal search feature which they added the Google logo to the search bar. Recently, the Google app got an update which reveals what Google is planning to do.

This particular UI change match the Pixel Launcher universal search feature. At the time of posting, it isn't widely rolled out. Once your device got it, you will see search suggestions & history is placed on a card featuring rounded corners. It's likely that when you press on the search bar, the Google app will open and let you search over there.

This new UI is only likely to be available on Android 13 only. Older Android versions will continue to see the current old UI.

Announcement
Hey there, I guess I don’t need to explain why the channel isn’t active these days, but if you don’t know yet, let me explain in this post.

After putting a lot of effort for a consecutive 10 months on this channel, we are finally here. Without your support, it wouldn’t be possible. Over the past 10 months, because I have spent a lot of my time posting over here, I haven’t been doing well on the other side.

So yeah, I have decided to spend less time over here, so there will be fewer posts from now on. That doesn’t mean we are giving up. What we are going to mainly post here is some Pixel stuff as you know, then probably some meaningful changes in Google applications and Android, other stuff will depend.

You might have noticed that we are currently experimenting with some sort of summary post, which we will try to compile news that we couldn't manage to post on this channel over the week. You can also see this as a sort of reminder of what Google released over the past week.

Every day is a busy day for me, I will try my best to continue posting over here, so yeah, hope you have a nice day and be able to achieve your own goal too.

#YouTube
YouTube widely rolled out engagement graph, letting you know the most popular part of a video
Back a few months ago, YouTube is testing out with engagement graph on the video progress bar, later they made it a Premium experiment feature. Just a few weeks ago, YouTube made this feature available for every user.

Basically this graph will only show for videos that are released three days later with more than 50k views. On the desktop, hover over the progress bar and you will get to see the graph, meanwhile mobile users need to hold or drag the progress bar.

The highest position of the graph means most people had watched it, with YouTube highlighting it as "Most replayed" when you dragged over it. The graph is available to view on the mobile apps and desktop web.

*I shared this as I just discovered it, and didn't know it had rolled out at all :)
