Meet the Expert: How to understand billing and managing subscriptions

In January, the Google Workspace Team held a Meet the Expert webinar focused on billing and managing subscriptions. In case you missed it, no worries! You can see the session recording here.

You'll see how to view your licensing settings, explore different payment plans, understand your payment cycle and grace period, and make sense of charges on your invoice. You'll also learn how to upgrade, downgrade or cancel your subscription.

And on February 8th, the team will be back with a session on how to manage users for your Google Workspace account. Register and submit your questions in advance by following this link

AppSheet Office Hours: Platform and Community Updates

In January, we launched a new space dedicated to the AppSheet Community. Whether you're brand new to AppSheet or already an expert, it's our goal to provide a trusted space for you to achieve your goals with AppSheet, Google's no-code app development platform. Check out the AppSheet Community here!

We're also excited to reintroduce a monthly series of AppSheet Office Hours, where you can hear news, updates, and best practices from AppSheet experts, as well as ask any questions you may have.

Our first session was held on February 3rd, where the AppSheet team covered recent product updates and shared an overview of what's to come in 2022. The team also answered several questions that came in from the Community, including questions around licensing options, security and compliance, the status of feature updates, integrations, and more.

A complete recap (including written Q&A and supporting resources) will be shared with the Community soon, but in the meantime, you can see the recording here.
