Google Workspace has made it easier to manage the access requests you may receive by allowing you to respond to requests within Gmail. Now you can review the request, choose the access level (i.e. edit, comment or view) and grant access directly from the request email. Previously you had to open the file to adjust these permissions. These emails will make it quicker and easier to manage these requests and adjust sharing permissions. The GIF below demonstrates how this update works.

Both GMail and Google Drive are changing (or have already changed) the way they look, also known as its 鈥渦ser interface鈥濃��

Making the switch:

• In GMail, currently, you can CHOOSE whether or not to update your user interface by clicking the gear and selecting 鈥淭ry the new 无尽资源采集 Mail鈥� [You can also switch back to the 鈥渃lassic GMail,鈥� but likely you will eventually be forced to the new GMail with no option to switch back.]
• Your WPS Google Drive automatically switched to the new user interface sometime last week – this is/was not a choice nor can you switch back!

While the changes in Google Drive are mostly 鈥渃osmetic鈥�, there are some new features in GMail to call your attention to:

1. 1. A new, right-hand Sidebar allows quicker access to Calendar, Google Keep & Tasks
