If you’re a Google Workspace subscriber and are under the Rapid Release schedule, you’ll see the updates by March 21. One of the best things about the new Google Docs refresh is that you won’t have long to wait. Still, any type of Google Drive automation and bulk actions can improve productivity. Google didn’t provide specific details about what will be possible. Even better, you can select multiple items and do them all at once.

Google gave some elements a bit of visual lift. The subtle shading isn’t the only change. This update helps separate comments and the taskbar from the rest of the page, however subtle, making it easier to spot what you need. In the new Workspace, Google favors varying shades of gray with a sky-blue tint. There won’t be shadows, but that stark white also won’t be everywhere. A little color and contrast can go a long way to making a page look more inviting, and that is coming with the latest refresh. Google prefers an uncluttered look, but a big, blank page is intimidating.
