Google has recently added new zoom settings in its presentation program for its Google Slides platfrom, which will enable the users to customize their views. With the latest update, users can now input their desired zoom percentage or choose from preset zoom percentages in the drop-down menu at the top of their presentations. This new feature will provide greater flexibility and control over the display of slides, enhancing the user experience.
In addition to the Zoom settings update, Google is expanding Google Drive log events to include additional Workspace editions such as Workspace Business Starter and Essentials Starter. This expansion allows users in these editions to access detailed logs and information about user activity and file interactions within Google Drive. It provides administrators with valuable insights into user behaviour and enhances data management capabilities.
Moreover, educators can now utilize Google Classroom originality reports checking the authenticity of their students' work on Microsoft Word files (.docx). By comparing the submitted files with online books and web pages, the originality report tool can detect plagiarism and uncited material. This feature aims to promote academic integrity and ensure that student's work is original and properly cited.
