Google Slides - Rulers & Guides

A menu change happened for me this morning in Google Slides (on just my work account, not on my personal account yet).  The addition of both turning on/off a ruler, and adding guides onto the slide to help with placement if you are varying from the pre-built theme layouts.

Here is the menu change showing the additional options -

RULER
The ruler works as you would expect it to.  When you select it from the View menu, it displays a horizontal and vertical ruler at the top and left of the side -

When you are moving an object on the slide, you will see blue lines marking the location of the ends and middle of the object on both toolbars -

GUIDES
When you select to view the guides, you see the midpoint guides on the slides - 

Guides do have some more flexibility as you can add additional guides on the slide, and drag them to the location of your choice -

There is also the option to "Edit guides" and enter them in a window, as well -
