Google has started rolling out a new UI design for Google Drive, Docs, Sheets and Slides, in line with its Material Design 3 language. The company says that the apps will still function the same way as before but should now be more simplified, with less clutter and a few improvements and additions.
According to Google, the updated design is meant to streamline core collaboration journeys across its products, similar to Gmail’s new look. The redesign was announced in February and the rollout began on March 10th for rapid release domain users. The update will reach all Workspace and personal users, as well as people still on legacy G Suite Basic and Business plans, by March 25th.

In an announcement post, Google stated that the updated UI should help users stay organized, be more productive and focus on what matters most. The redesign includes a new unified toolbar that will allow users to easily access their most frequently used actions across the apps, such as creating a document or sharing a file. There are also new buttons and menus that have been added to make it easier to navigate through the apps.
Google says that the new design is based on feedback from users and aims to provide a more intuitive and enjoyable experience. With these updates, Google is trying to make its products more user-friendly and accessible, allowing users to focus on their work instead of struggling with confusing interfaces.
