A few weeks ago, we launched the capability for Google Apps admins to give individual users a Google+ profile, in order to connect with other employees and encourage collaboration and sharing in the organization. We’re now extending this capability so that admins can perform automatic profile upgrades for an entire organizational unit (OU).
From Apps > Additional Google Services > Google+ > Sharing settings, admins can simply select an OU that has been enabled for Google+ and check the box in Profile Creation settings to automatically create Google+ profiles for all members of the OU. After confirming that all people in the OU are older than 18 (and that no users under 18 will be added to the selected OU), Google+ profiles are then automatically created for all existing (and future) members of the OU. These members are then sent a Google+ welcome email explaining the action taken by the administrator. Notes

We’re now launching several new features and improvements for iOS Sync, including: Security policies

Today we’re introducing two new features to help make working together even easier in Drive and the Docs editors.
After you add an email address to the sharing dialogue, you’ll see profile pictures for everyone you’ve added. This can come in handy when you need to confirm that you’re inviting the right contacts, especially if you work with people that have similar names. We’re also making it easier to add people who you typically share with. Once you add two collaborators, you’ll see suggestions for related people who you frequently email or share files with:  Release track: Rapid release and Scheduled release For more information: Help Center Note: all launches are applicable to all Google Apps editions unless otherwise noted whatsnew.googleapps.com Get these product update alerts by email Subscribe to the RSS feed of these updates  |

Sometimes Calendar events change―like an event being deleted or updated, the removal of a booked room, or a change to a list of invitees―and it’s not clear how those changes came about. Starting today, admins can use the new Calendar audit feature in Admin Reports to see details of specific user actions within Google Calendar.
You can see changes to primary calendars―like deleting or creating a new calendar―along with changes to events like description, time, name or guest list, and even changes to notifications and reminders. To access the Calendar audit reports in Admin console, click on Reports > Audit > Calendar:  Note: this feature is not available for Google Apps for Government customers Release track: Rapid release and Scheduled release For more information: Help Center Note: all launches are applicable to all Google Apps editions unless otherwise noted whatsnew.googleapps.com Get these product update alerts by email Subscribe to the RSS feed of these updates  |

People using Gmail now have the option to view the Gmail UI in Irish (Gaeilge), the 72nd different language offered. Language settings can be changed from the “display language” drop-down in Settings.
Note that one’s display language doesn't affect the language in which messages are sent and received.

The Google account settings pages now have a refreshed look and feel, aligned with Google’s material design principles, and a new url: myaccount.google.com. Tabs have been removed in favor of a simple, single landing page that links directly to existing account resources. All other functionality is unchanged.
