A**ther new feature lets you get insights on a spreadsheet (https://support.google.com/docs/answer/6280499) by simply selecting a range of cells and clicking Explore. This feature works in the desktop web app and the Android app and it shows trends, patterns and even charts for the data you've selected. It's surprisingly useful.

Google Docs **w shows the new changes (https://support.google.com/docs/answer/190843#newchanges) in a collaborative document. "If there are new changes, click the New changes button to the right of the Help menu. You can also click the File menu > See new changes."
