Finally, at the top of the range, click the Filter icon, select Sort by color or Filter by color and then choose the type (text or fill) and color you want. Matching cells will be displayed at the top of the range. To learn more about sorting and filtering data in Sheets, visit Google’s Help Center.

Soon you will have the ability to create and use multiple email signatures in Gmail. This feature gives you the flexibility to use different signatures for different situations. To create multiple signatures in Gmail, click the Settings (gear icon) > select Settings > select General. Then, scroll down to “Signature” and select “Create New” to enter a new signature. Finally, to choose one of your signatures, open the signature menu in the compose action toolbar of an email. To learn more about multiple signatures in Gmail, visit Google’s Help Center.

According to Google, the Sheets feature should now be available and the Gmail feature should begin showing up in on April 22 in U-M Google. The Gmail feature could take 15 days or longer to become fully visible.
