Create and work with documents that contain multiple page orientations in Google Docs

Google has made it easier to create and work with documents that require multiple page orientations in Google Docs.

For documents created in Google Docs, you can now change the page orientation on a per-section basis. This will allow you to make room for wider content such as tables and images that can benefit from extra horizontal space. You’ll also be able to edit, import, and export Microsoft Word documents that contain both portrait and landscape oriented pages.

Originality reports

Educators and students can check work for authenticity. Originality reports use Google Search to compare a student’s work against billions of webpages and millions of books. Originality reports link to the detected webpages and flag uncited text. You and your students can use originality reports to check work for authenticity. When you run a report, it compares a student’s Google Docs or Slides file against webpages and books on the internet. The report links to detected sources and flags uncited text.
