Google Apps administrators have a link available in their Gmail inbox which allows them to easily access their administrator control panel. This link is an alternative to logging in at www.google.com/a/yourdomain.com where yourdomain.com is the name of the admin’s domain. This ‘Manage this domain’ link is temporarily moving from its current location at the top right of the inbox, to the bottom right corner of the inbox, just underneath ‘Last account activity’. This relocation is related to the new look being rolled out to Google Apps services and we’ll provide more updates on its final location when available. Release track: Rapid*Editions included: Google Apps, Google Apps for Business, Government and EducationLanguages included: All languages supported by GmailHow to access what's new: In an administrator's Gmail inbox, scroll down and the 'Manage this domain' link is now located on the bottom right side.

The new look for Google Docs and Sites is now available to preview as an opt-in for scheduled release domains. You’ll see clean menus and toolbars, prominent action buttons, and colorful presence that pops when you’re editing with others. Some of the changes: - We made it clearer that your document is always saved, by showing “Saving...” right after you make a change and then “All changes saved” once it’s fully saved. - We added an icon to the Share button so you can tell if your document is shared at a glance. - If you’re looking for options that were previously under the Share button (e.g. “Email as attachment...”), you can now find these in the File menu. - By default, the documents list automatically fits a comfortable number of documents on your screen (large desktop monitors show more, smaller laptop screens show fewer). We also added density options to give you more control. If you opt in to the new look and want to go back, choose Help > Use the classic look (or in the gear menu, for some products).
