Google is polishing its Docs
New Web based Office suite from Microsoft was announced last week, and Google announces the company is working on a new interface for the online office app.. Don’t you like competition?
According to the Register: Google plans to remove the “Shared with…” list in the left hand pane – it’s effectively redundant as Search offers the same functionality, explained the firm’s Docs product manager Vijay Bangaru. The app will also soon come with a new Sharing Menu.
“We feel this is a big improvement over the old one; we’ve moved all the sharing functionality into this one dialog, so now you can completely manage sharing without having to leave the Docs list,” said Bangaru. Additionally, the web kingpin has added a few “search operators” to Docs. Those minor changes will be “followed shortly by the new interface and a number of pretty exciting features we have in the pipe,” he added.
Google warns Docs users the ongoing tweaks might be noticeable during the “next few weeks” while it applies the facelift to Docs. The warning suggests changes might bump in to few disruptions, I presume?
