Google Drive has tackled one of its most often criticized aspects by revamping its file viewer, providing a more streamlined and efficient interface. The upgraded viewer improves PDF management with a sidebar for the table of contents and page thumbnails, facilitating easier navigation. Moreover, a video transcript search option enables users to swiftly locate specific spoken keywords. These enhancements are part of a wider interface overhaul that features a reimagined toolbar and a more user-friendly file menu. The rollout has commenced for Rapid Release users, with Scheduled Release domains set to follow on December 11, 2025, catering to both personal and Workspace users.
