Google Workspace Updates
You can now collaborate on an email draft in Docs with the new Building blocks email draft template. To insert an email draft template, navigate to Insert > Building Blocks > Email draft.
You can add recipients in the To field using their email address or typing @ to open a directory menu. Document editors can collaborate on the message body using comments and suggestions.
When you are ready to send the email, simply click the Gmail logo button to the left of the email draft. A Gmail compose window will pop up, with email fields (subject, to, cc, bcc, and body) automatically populated based on the email draft in the document.

Google is introducing a new, integrated view for Gmail, making it easy to move between critical applications like Gmail, Chat, and Meet in one unified location.
You will soon see a pop-up notification in Gmail asking if you want to switch to the new view. If you choose to switch, you can always revert to classic Gmail via settings.
By the end of 2022, this new view will become the standard experience for Gmail, with no option to revert back.

Pageless format allows you to remove the boundaries of a page to create an infinite surface to work on.
There are no page breaks, images adjust to your screen size, and wide tables are viewable by scrolling left and right. Line breaks for text will adjust to screen size and as you zoom in and out.
Within a document, navigate to File > Page setup to switch between pages (the default format) and pageless (the new format).
This format is document-specific, so changing the setting for one document will not impact other documents you own.
