Cloud IT formerly On-Site Technical Solutions: A fresh start for Google presentations

Google has been consistently upgrading Google Docs- and continues to do so - but presentations didn't quite seem to keep up with the rapid pace of improvements we've seen in documents, spreadsheets and some other tools. It looks like Google has decided to rectify that with the latest and greatest presentations.

More than 50 new features
In the new presentations, we’ve added many of your most requested features, including:

Transitions to move between slides with simple fades or spicier 3D effects

Animations to add emphasis or to make your slides more playful

New themes to create beautiful presentations with distinct visual styles

Drawings to build new designs, layouts, and flowcharts within a presentation

Rich tables with merged cells and more options for adding style to your data

Google says they're rolling it out slowly but you can get started immediately:

What’s next

We’re gradually rolling out the new presentations. To get an early start, click on the gear icon in your document list, and select Document settings. Then, from the editing tab, check the box to “Create new presentations using the latest version of the presentation editor.” Learn more about getting started with the new presentation editor over at our Help Center.

Many of the new features were built using technologies that are only available in modern browsers. If you’re using an older browser you’ll be able to view, but not edit, the new presentations.

With today’s launch, the Google Docs suite is now built on a single, solid foundation. Now that the groundwork is in place, you can expect more useful and collaborative features, delivered faster than ever before.
