Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings: Update Activity Dashboard & Copy Format

What’s new

Google has made it easier for you to open the Activity Dashboard directly from Google Docs, Sheets, Slides and Drawings. You'll now see the activity panel icon (which is a pointed arrow moving upward) next to the comments button in the top right corner of the page.

Clicking on this arrow icon will help you open the dashboard, and from here you can analyze time statistics and adjust privacy and document settings. This will immediately take you to the information in the activity dashboard you're looking for. Hovering over an icon lets you see information that others can see about you in the activity panel. To learn more about viewing the view history of your Google Docs, Sheets and Slides files , refer to the Help Center.

Google Slides: Copy formatting to multiple objects in

Google has added a few features so you can easily copy formatting from one object (such as a block of text or a shape) to many other objects in Google Slides. Previously, you were able to use Paint formatting tool to copy formatting from one object to another, but you need to click it every time you want to apply the formatting to a new object. Now, it's very simple, you just need to double clip the tool icon to turn on "persistent" mode and apply that formatting to multiple objects in the slide. Just click the icon again or press the Escape button on the keyboard to stop.
