Gmail now allows you to use multiple signatures. Multiple signatures give you the flexibility to use different signatures for different situations. With multiple signatures, you can swap out your signature while you compose an email by clicking the Insert signature button at the bottom of the window. You can also set different default signatures for new emails and emails that you reply to in the signature settings.

To create multiple signatures:

  1. In Gmail, click the Gear icon and then See all settings.
  2. From the General tab, scroll down to the signature section.
  3. Click the Create New button and enter a name for the new signature.
  4. Select the name of your new signature and fill in the text box to the right of it with your signature details.

    5. Learn more about creating a signature in Gmail at https://support.google.com/a/users/answer/9259758#4.1

Beginning October 13, any file that is put into Google Drive’s Trash folder will be automatically deleted after 30 days. Please review files in your Drive Trash folder and move anything you wish to save into a “My Drive” or “Shared drives” folder in order to avoid losing them.

To increase the privacy of education meetings in Google Meet, anonymous users (those that are not signed into a G Suite or Google account) will no longer be able to join a meeting created by a UNLVMail or Rebelmail account. The change will prevent anonymous users from joining and disrupting the meeting, a behavior commonly referred to as “zoombombing.”

What does this mean for you?

  • As a meeting organizer: When you create a meeting and share the meeting link, your participants must be signed in to a UNLVMail, Rebelmail, or personal Google account in order to join.
  • As a meeting participant: When you join a meeting, you must be signed into a UNLVMail, Rebelmail, or personal Google account.

Google will begin rolling out the change today, although it may take up to 15 days for it to affect your account.
