| | Today I learned a little thing that, on second thought...maybe isn't so little?
In the SaaSOps Slack channel, Su Song discovered that you can rearrange your Google Apps menu tiles. It turns out this is really simple to do. I'm talking drag-and-drop simple. Who would have guessed?
I don't know about you, but I've lost count of how many times I've accidentally clicked the Play Store button when I wanted to open Drive. Or YouTube when I needed my Calendar. Or, any permutations of maddening clicks that derailed my afternoon.
Sounds like a game-changer, right? Well, kind of. Our friend vrklgn found that you can't touch your org's SAML apps, which will always be located just below. Cue the sad trombone!
Was I part of a small minority that didn't know you could reorganize your Google Apps? Let me know by replying directly to this email—or better yet, join the conversation in the SaaSOps Community. |
