  What’s changing Earlier this year, we announced a  beta  for assigning SSO profiles to organizational units or groups. This feature is now generally available and allows admins to specify groups or organizational units (OUs) to authenticate a subset of your users using Google. Who’s impacted Admins Why it’s important Currently, when you configure SSO with a third-party identity provider, the setting applies to your entire domain. However, there are some instances where you may want a subset of your users, such as vendors or contractors, to authenticate with Google instead. The Partial SSO feature gives you the flexibility to specify the authentication method for various users in your organization as needed. Getting started Admins:  In the Admin console, navigate to  Security > Settings > Set up single sign-on (SSO) with a third party IdP > Manage SSO Profile assignments.  Visit the Help Center to learn more about  assigning SSO profiles to organizational units or groups .

  Over 50% of the cortex, the surface of the brain, is dedicated to processing visual information, occupying more space than anything else we do. In fact, according to bestselling author Dan Roam, using visuals to tell stories is one of the most powerful ways to get a message across. With drawings and images, you can clarify what’s in your own mind and confirm if someone sees it the same way, fostering mutual understanding and better connections.  In the latest entry in our Building Forward webinar series, Roam shared his key insights on using simple yet dynamic visuals to clarify ideas, plans, and messages. The art of an engaging presentation When we see the sun shining outside, it helps us decide what to wear. We see traffic ahead on the road, so we decide to take another route. We make decisions based on visuals every day, so it stands to reason they can also help inform the way we work, learn, and present information. When we build presentations, we have to keep in mind our audienc

  Google is adding five new immersive backgrounds for Google Meet on the web. The backgrounds feature subtle animation that give your background life or change your lighting. Cafe and condo interiors will have various iterations, such as snowy or rainy weather, which will help dispersed teams better represent their current time zone and climate.  Additionally, we’re giving you more options to customize your video with various light and color filters and more stylized backgrounds.

Starting a website can be hard, we get it. There are many vendors you have to work with and steps to tie together. What DNS records do I need to add? How do I enable DNSSEC? Is my website secure and safe from cyber attacks? These types of questions plague millions of website operators globally. We are excited to share that it is possible to manage all of these steps in one location using Google Cloud. Google Cloud offers you the ability to manage the entire lifecycle of a website from start to finish. You no longer have to worry about managing different subscriptions and understanding the integration between vendors. Leveraging the Google Cloud offering will allow for you to have a scalable, reliable, and safe deployment. Additionally, there are extra benefits that you can take advantage of, like getting Google Managed SSL certificates for free and taking advantage of best in class DDoS protection with our Cloud Armor solution.

  Information Technology teams, especially in help desk and support, need a way to track what problems people are having. Ideally they also can know how those problems change over time, especially when technology or policy shifts. Imagine you are in charge of sending a newspaper delivery team to different neighborhoods. Each person has a bicycle, so you give them a route, and they leave the papers at the right doors. But the roads change. Every day they change. It's chaos. What do you do when routes are changing constantly?  How do you provide the information needed when the context is shifting all the time? In an IT context we run into similar challenges with traditional problem management frameworks such as  ITIL 4 , which tend to always assume a fixed, well-defined catalog of services. That way every issue that the IT folks solve is tracked and accounted for. That connection back to the catalog allows insight into what's causing issues, or where outages or incidents may be i

  Quick launch summary In new Google Sites, we’re adding the ability for editors to copy a single page or subset of pages into a new site. Previously, it was only possible to make a copy of an entire site. This feature gives site editors more control, allowing users to reuse part of a site or easily break up a large site into smaller sites.  We hope this feature, in addition to other recent site editing capabilities such as  restoring a specific page from a site , make it easier for site editors to collaborate on large sites. Getting started Admins:  There is no admin control for this feature. End users:  From the three-dot overflow menu, select  Make a copy > Pages > Selected Pages  — select the pages you want to copy and then select "OK". You’ll receive an email notification with the link to your new site. Visit the Help Center to learn more about  copying a site ,  using Google Sites ,  finding what’s changed in a Site ,  deleting or restoring a site , and  reviewing
