Features & enhancements

Item Description
Feature Beta release: Create apps and build automations using Google Forms
Announcing the beta release of the following features:
  • Create apps using a form from Google Forms.
  • Build automations using Google Forms to trigger events based on a form response. For example, send an email when a form response is received requesting approval for business travel.

For more information, see:
Enhancement The following enhancements have been made for desktop UI (preview):
  • The URL hash in has been updated to represent the state of currently visible views in a new condensed format that supports preserving inline view state through shared links or page refresh (for example, sorting a table view within a dashboard by a particular column). Note that existing deep links and bookmarks of both mobile and prior desktop format will continue to work, but the URL bar will begin to reflect the new format. This enhancement is being rolled out gradually. It is currently deployed to 10% of users.
  • Changes to format rule icons:
    • Icon rules that don't specify a highlight color will again inherit highlight color from other active rules (consistent with mobile behavior).
    • When a Ref column references a row whose Label column includes formatting, the Ref values will now include the Label's formatting when displayed in dropdown inputs (consistent with how they are displayed in other places).

      These enhancement are being rolled out gradually. They are currently deployed to 100% of users.

The new desktop design, currently in preview, is optimized for desktop browsers, presenting a more complete view of information with a consistent organization and structure. The new desktop design lets users navigate their apps more easily and access information in context, and provides an efficient way to edit existing records without losing context. The legacy desktop design, enabled by default, provides an experience similar to the mobile and tablet device.
