Waffle Bytes

As you get ready for the new school year and begin using your school email more, you may notice some new-to-you message appearing.  These are designed to help you ensure that you are sending information to the correct emails - preventing you from sending sensitive information to the wrong person OR the wrong email address! The first is a "did you mean...?" warning.  Often you may have multiple emails for the same person - This seems to pop up when you are sending to multiple people, and one of the people you are sending to has multiple emails at different domain extensions - and the one you are not using matches the other person/people you are sending to.  Above, I selected Dan's .com email but John's .org email.  Since I have another email for Dan that is .org, it prompted the Did you mean question.  The second is a warning when you are sending to someone outside your domain that is not in your contacts - Again, a great way to prevent sending sensitive info

Heads up! The Google App Launcher, also known around here as the "waffle" (here's where I chuckle), is going to see an update next week on August 1! According to the G Suite Update Alerts, it will change from this: to this: If you have already customized yours, the change will NOT go into effect.  (Many of you Google users don't know that you can re-arrange the icons in the launcher to a layout you prefer-you can still do this if you want a different order than the default.)
