Community Updates in October
We continue to work hard to improve our Community based on your valuable feedback. Here’s what’s new in regards to our community features:
- We updated the Google Cloud homepage and the Learning & Certification Hub homepage to make it easier to access any groups where you’re an existing member.
-
When a Community member updates their settings to reflect yyyy-MM-dd, the date display format on a post thread was only showing MM-dd-yyyy. This has been resolved and is now reflecting the settings a Community member has set and intended.
-
When clicking on an image within the Community, the download icon had an up arrow. This has been resolved and is now showing a down arrow.
