Docs and Sheets get a ribbon like Word and Excel, with tabs and tidy groups. Docs adds Clear All Formatting, Change Case, underline styles, Format Painter, paragraph shading and borders, a table size picker, Date & Time, columns and column breaks, bookmarks, picture position, repeat header rows and formatting marks. Sheets adds Paste Values/Formulas/Formats, Format Painter, Merge & Center, cell styles, row height and column width, AutoSum, Clear All, Insert Function, Subtotal, gridlines and headings, Insert Picture and more chart types. Also fixed: rows given a height together are saved in order, and existing bookmarks stay in place when a paragraph is edited.
Docs lays out floating pictures, text boxes and shapes where Word puts them, with text on both sides of a picture; Track Changes can be reviewed (accept or reject one change or all) and recorded while you edit; text in header and footer tables can be edited; pictures cropped in Word show cropped. Sheets gets a custom filter with two conditions (And/Or) and a better chart range from one cell. PDF can save a copy with the markup flattened into the page.
Automatic updates, Intel Mac support, and new pages: Duplicates, Uninstall Apps (with leftovers of removed apps) and Login Items, plus a low disk space warning. Files from Large Files, Duplicates and Uninstall Apps go to the Trash only after you confirm.
Inserting and deleting rows and columns now works on many more everyday Excel workbooks (merged cells, array formulas, comments, slicers, form controls and charts follow along). Return after a heading in Docs continues in the next style, the number-format buttons no longer appear in Docs and Slides, and a PDF text box near the page edge no longer covers the selected word. New: an anonymous install count and, only if you agree, crash reports (Settings > Privacy).
One universal app for Intel and Apple silicon Macs, automatic updates (Check for Updates… in the menu), crash reports only if you agree and an anonymous daily install count, plus a clearer setup tip, tidier menus, the right port in the pairing address and brightness control that keeps working with the lid closed.
