Google’s new feature to help you avoid editing important work documents with your private account

You wouldn’t exactly want your co-workers or client to know your personal email accounts, now would you? Especially if they show a side of you that you wouldn’t want them to know. Well, Google is hoping to come to your rescue with a new “account awareness” feature. This new account switching tool is coming to Docs, Slides, and Sheets. It’s still accessible at the top right corner of your account. But instead of showing you the list of accounts you have, you see a small box with the text “You’re currently signed in as [x].” And if you want to see your other accounts, you can click on “Change account” at the bottom of the pop-up.

All G Suite editions will have this feature on by default. Those with the rapid release domains will get the new switcher in 15 days or less, while those with scheduled release domains will get this later this month.

Google Docs to use AI to make sure your documents are grammatically correct

Google wants to make sure the documents you type out on its Docs app are as grammatically correct as possible. One of the new updates coming to G Suite users that are part of its Early Adopter Program is the grammar check option. It makes use of machine translation to locate everything from basic grammatical errors to issues with sentence structure. And since this makes use of artificial intelligence, this should also learn over time and catch those “trickier” problems. While it’s currently only available to business users, Google does plan to roll this out to other users as well.
