We&#8217;re focused on making your first experience \u2013 and every experience \u2013 as smooth and straightforward as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What\u2019s Improving?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You might recall that when installing BetterMerge add-on, you (or your domain administrator) would grant initial permissions, and then you\u2019d see another permission alert when you launched the add-on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good news \u2013 we&#8217;re streamlining this! To enhance your experience and align with Google&#8217;s guidelines for a simpler setup, BetterMerge will soon use a <strong>single permission step<\/strong>. When you install the add-on, or use it for the first time after this update, you&#8217;ll see <strong>just one clear screen<\/strong> for all the permissions needed for its core features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means once you approve these permissions, you can dive straight into using BetterMerge&#8217;s core functionalities without any further Google permission prompts from the add-on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What This Means for You (A Quick, One-Time Step):<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When this update rolls out, the next time you open the <strong>BetterMerge<\/strong> add-on in Google Sheets\u2122, it will ask you to <strong>approve its permissions again<\/strong>. This is simply a <strong>quick, one-time confirmation<\/strong> to transition you to this improved, simpler system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you notice a few extra permissions listed this time, please don&#8217;t worry! These are the same permissions that were previously in that second step, now conveniently grouped into one. They&#8217;re all essential for BetterMerge to continue working effectively for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Benefits for You:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>One-Click Setup:<\/strong> Faster and easier Google permission approval for the add-on.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Smoother Workflow:<\/strong> Get straight to your tasks without interruption.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Modern &amp; Secure:<\/strong> Aligned with Google&#8217;s best practices for a great user experience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>And the BetterMerge Web Dashboard?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our web dashboard, where you can access more advanced features (soon), will also have an updated login process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our goal is always to make BetterMerge powerful yet easy to use. We&#8217;re confident this update is a significant step in that direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for being part of the BetterMerge community! If you have any questions at all, please reach out to our friendly support team at support@bettermerge.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Best regards,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The BetterMerge Team<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi Everyone, We&#8217;re excited to share that an update is coming soon for our BetterMerge add-on for Google Sheets\u2122 (and our web dashboard too!).
