Activity Dashboard in G Suite Shows When Shared Files are Viewed
A new Activity Dashboard has started rolling out to G Suite domains that allows admins and users to see when shared files have been viewed by others. The idea behind the dashboard is to improve collaboration by letting users know when someone who is working with them on a file has actually viewed that file. Think of it as read receipts for files.
The new feature works for Google Docs, Sheets and Slides files and the feature will be rolling out in two phases. First, admins will have the ability to enable or disable the feature starting today and only they can see the Activity Dashboard.
