Hello Google Workspace Community! We're deviating slightly from our regularly scheduled monthly Community Roundup series to take a look back at not just what happened in December, but everything we've accomplished together in 2022.
We're featuring top contributors, the most active conversations, popular events, learning challenge winners, and more. Let's dive in!
The Community would not be what it is without our invaluable members. We appreciate each and every person who visits and contributes - making it a friendly, helpful, and rewarding place to be.
Below are a few shoutouts to folks who go above and beyond. Share your appreciation with a comment below!
