      TIP

      What other ways can I run a Google Workspace app?

      In any browser, you can run an app by opening a tab to its web address. For example, you can go to docs.google.com to run Google Docs, sheets.google.com to run Google Sheets, or forms.google.com to run Google Forms. This method is occasionally useful.

      From Google Drive, you can launch an app by creating a new document in it. Click New () to display the New pop-up menu, and then click the app, such as Google Sheets ().

      On a Chromebook, press + click Launcher () to display the Launcher screen, and then click the app you want to launch.

Set Your Profile Information and Photo

Your Google Account includes profile information and a photo that may be available for your colleagues to view. The profile includes your name, gender, birthday, and work location. You should review your profile information and your photo to make sure they are accurate and present the information you want to share.

      Depending on how your organization’s administrator has configured Google Workspace, you may be able to edit only some profile information, or even none. If you cannot edit certain information, you may need to ask the administrator to edit it.
