Unless otherwise indicated, the features below are fully launched or in the process of rolling out (rollouts should take no more than 15 business days to complete), launching to both Rapid and Scheduled Release at the same time (if not, each stage of rollout should take no more than 15 business days to complete), and available to all Google Workspace and G Suite customers.


Full mouse support now available for Google Sheets and Slides on Android 
Last year, we announced full mouse support while using Google Docs on Android devices that mirrors mouse behavior on the web. This week, we’ve expanded this to Sheets and Slides, enabling you to resize unselected rows and columns, click, drag, hover, and more with your mouse. | Rolling out to Rapid Release domains now; launch to Scheduled Release domains planned for April 12, 2023.
Move folders from My Drive to shared drives
Earlier this year, we introduced a beta that allows end users to move folders from My Drive into shared drives. We’re happy to announce this is now generally available to Google Workspace Essentials, Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Essentials, Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Plus, Education Fundamentals, Education Plus, Education Standard, the Teaching and Learning Upgrade, and Nonprofits, and legacy G Suite Business customers. | Rollout to Rapid Release domains complete; launch to Scheduled Release domains planned for April 11, 2023. | Learn more. 

Multi-instance support now available for Google Keep on large screen Android devices 
Following the recent update to view Google Keep notes on the home screen of Android devices, we’re introducing the ability to open a second instance of the Keep app on the same device. Having two windows open side-by-side enables better insight into your notes and gives you more ways to work with, display, and organize your content across Google Workspace.
