                                                  • E003: Introducing a guest Googler, Emre Kanlikilicer, responsible for this weeks updates!

                                                    What does it take to make an update to Google Workspace and push it out to millions of users? We asked this question and more to our first ever podcast guest, Emre Kanlikilicer, who leads an engineering group at Google focused on Google Workspace. In fact, 3 of this week's new feature updates, Emre and his team were responsible for! We asked, and Emre delivered giving us a peek behind the curtain to learn some of the process a new update has to go through, sometimes in the works for up to a year or more. This is definitely an episode you don't want to miss! 

                                                    Of course, it wouldn't be a Google Workspace Recap episode if we didn't give you this week's updates, and not only did we discuss them as usual, Emre provided some insights as well for the 3 his team worked on. Here are our updates for this week:
