While "Suggested Times" has existed for years (and has been one of our favourite features), in 2026, Gemini has upped this feature's game!

Tickboxes in Google Sheets and Google Docs can be a really useful tool for Project Management in Google Workspace. We like to use checkboxes in Google Sheets, Google Docs and Google Keep.

With Google Slides' built-in AI image generation, you can describe what you envision, and watch it appear on your slide (once you have approved the image).

Turning an email into a task is a great way to clear your inbox and help you achieve Inbox Zero - if that's your style of working. If you have a busy inbox, tasks can sometimes get forgotten as other emails fly in; this can help address that issue.

It can be useful to pin your top row of data or first column of data, so that when you scroll, your data in those rows and columns will be frozen.

In this post, we will examine VLOOKUP and the differences to its modern successor, XLOOKUP, in Google Sheets.

In the Gemini app, we can create presentations with Canvas. This is a great tool to save time creating presentations from information that already exists elsewhere.

You can now send emoji reactions to emails in Gmail 🥳. Sometimes an email doesn't need a full reply, and an emoji reaction will do the job of acknowledging the email.

Your secret to reaching 'Inbox Zero' in Gmail might be archiving. Many users avoid the Archive button because they are terrified their emails will disappear into a black hole, never to be seen again, but this is not the case.

In Google Docs, you can link to objects outside of the document, such as a chart from a Google Sheet. You can update the data feeding these objects all at the same time with the 'Linked objects' pane.

When you host a meeting in Google Meet, you can set up a virtual waiting room where participants wait until you let them into the meeting.

As Gemini evolves, it can be difficult to know what its capabilities are. The ‘Ask Gemini’ menu in Google Sheets will show examples of Gemini’s capabilities and help us get started with the right prompt.

You can quickly create new Docs, Sheets and even Forms in the Chrome Address Bar.

Canvas in Gemini is all about Collaboration. With Canvas, Gemini will help you work on your project from start to finish, whether that be a document, game or app.

This is the perfect feature if you work with colleagues across various time zones. Make scheduling meetings easier with the World Clock feature. Using this feature, you can choose times from different time zones to display on the left of your Google Calendar.

Ready for a mailbox tidy-up? Why not start with those subscriptions you've been meaning to cancel in Gmail?

We are loving the new 'Create an AI column' Gemini button in the Google Sheets cell. It saves a lot of time.

Google Meet has some great backgrounds you can use, from a home office space to a simple blur. Now, you can use Gemini AI to create a background for yourself, unlocking endless possibilities.

You want to share a Google Doc with your team, but only for a limited period? Use the expiry share option. We use this a lot for training recordings.

You can check your Spelling and Grammar in Google Docs, but did you know you can also get suggestions on Conciseness, Active voice, Wording and Sentence Split.
