Inserting Breaks

*This one has not rolled out yet, but will be coming soon. 

In Google Docs, Page and Column breaks are currently separate lines under the Insert menu. Soon, they will be combined into a “Break” menu. Page and Column break will be a sub-menu.

• Before: Insert > Page break or Column break
• After: Insert > Break > Page break or Column break

Alt Text

*We are really NOT happy about this one. This has not rolled out yet either, but is coming. 

Alt Text will be moving from the Menu to a right click only.

• Before: Select shape > Format > Alt text. This option will be removed from the menu.
• After: Right click on shape > Alt text. This is the new way to add alt text to a shape.
