A new feature is being added to many popular Google Tools - the quick-access side panel.  You will be able to see this (and maybe already do) on the left side of your Google Calendar & Email.  From the Google Suite Update Alerts , [y]ou’ll [also] be able to access three G Suite products from Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drawings: Google Calendar: Quickly reference, create or edit invites.  Google Keep: Easily take notes, create lists, and see your other content.  Google Tasks: Manage your tasks and to-dos.  In Calendar, you will only see the icons for Keep & Tasks -  Here in Mail, you can see icons to access all three - To hid or show this panel, there is a little chevron (or arrow) at the bottom that can be clicked -

Google Keep just keeps getting better!  You can now add notes from your Google Keep by dragging & dropping.  How cool is that!  So the drawings, hand-written items, screenshots, etc from my tablet can now be very easily used in my slide shows.  To open Keep when in Slides, go to the Tools Menu and select Keep notepad: Your notes stored in Keep show up in a drawer on the right side of the browser: You can grab, drag and drop them onto the slide:                 Another method to add them, is to click the "do more" menu and select Add to slide: A great way to get exactly what you want in your slideshow!
