Google is launching a new feature to help you add, manage, and format academic citations in Google Docs. This will make writing academic papers easier since you won’t have to use add-ons, or copy citations from other tools.
Using this feature, you can easily insert in-text citations and create a bibliography in the MLA, APA, or Chicago (author-date) styles. Sources types supported include books, book sections, websites, journal articles and newspaper articles.
To learn more about citations and a bibliography in Google Docs, please visit the G Suite Learning Center.

- More participant controls for the meeting host, including the ability to prevent participants from sharing their screens and sending chat messages.
