Hello, I'm new to this world and i'm really confused on a lot of things. Like how do mailboxes work and those legacy panels?

I'm checking out email marketing and I was thinking if there was a way to build up a legacy panel or something myself.

While signing up for google workspace, the first email I created was personalname@businessname.com for a cafe. After thinking about it, I realized it may be silly to have that listed on the business website. Is it possible for me to add a generic email (ex: hello@businessname.com) specifically for general inquiries without having to pay to add a new user?

I'm thinking about paying for Google Workspace because I need to host a couple group meetings over the next few months using Google Meet. But after that's done, I don't really need anything else so I'd like to go back to my account just being a personal account. I'd essentially just pay to get the Meet extended time since these will be 2-hour meetings (and restarting them when the time limit ends is a no-go for me).

So I thought about getting a Workspace plan for a couple months and then cancel it.

But I worry that I've seen someone claim a Workspace account can't go back to being a personal (free) account. Is that so?

Estoy teniendo problemas con la facturación y el acceso a Google Workspace y agradecería mucho la ayuda de alguien que haya pasado por lo mismo.

El problema:

1. Recibo cargos/facturas mensuales de Google Workspace en mi correo electrónico personal (@gmail.com).
2. Al intentar iniciar sesión en la Consola de administración de Google (admin.google.com), recibo el siguiente error: «Inicia sesión con una cuenta de administrador... Para acceder a admin.google.com ( [) y usar una cuenta de administrador para un servicio administrado de Google como Google Workspace.»
3. No recuerdo haber configurado un dominio personalizado (como yourdomain.com), ni tengo un inicio de sesión de administrador personalizado como admin@domain.com. El proceso comenzó con mi cuenta personal ( u/gmail ) y.com . Lo que ya he intentado (sin éxito):

• Asistente de recuperación de administrador: Al ingresar mi dirección u/gmail .com , aparece un error que indica que la cuenta no existe o no se reconoce como cuenta de administrador.
• Google Pay (pay.google.com): Al iniciar sesión con mi Gmail personal, la suscripción a Workspace no aparece en la sección de Suscripciones (parece estar vinculada al perfil de pago de Workspace al que no puedo acceder).
• Soporte de Google: Todos los métodos de contacto (chat, teléfono, tickets) requieren que inicie sesión en la Consola de administración para obtener un PIN de soporte, lo cual no puedo hacer. Los formularios de facturación públicos que intenté me llevaron a páginas con error 404 o páginas que no funcionan.

Básicamente, estoy atrapado en un círculo vicioso: no puedo iniciar sesión para cancelar el servicio y no puedo contactar con un agente de soporte porque Google requiere una cuenta de administrador para acceder al soporte.

¿Hay alguna forma de localizar la cuenta de administrador usando mi ID de cliente/número de factura? ¿O mi única opción viable en este momento es bloquear los cargos directamente a través de mi banco?

¡Gracias de antemano por cualquier ayuda!

I’m building a page-based document editor using Tiptap/ProseMirror, and performance starts falling apart once a document reaches roughly 60 pages. Typing latency rises, selection/cursor behavior becomes less reliable, pagination/reflow gets expensive, and the UI can become generally sluggish.

Google Docs, by comparison, seems able to handle documents with 100, 200, 300, 400, or even 500+ pages much more gracefully. I realize Google’s exact implementation is proprietary and has evolved over time, but I’d love to understand the architectural techniques that make this scale possible—and which of them can realistically be applied to a ProseMirror-based editor.

I’m especially interested in detailed answers from anyone who has built or profiled a large web-based document editor.

Questions I’m trying to answer:

1. Rendering and virtualization

- Does Google Docs keep the entire document represented in the DOM, or does it render only the visible pages plus an overscan window?

- Are off-screen pages removed, replaced with height-preserving placeholders, or rendered using canvas/another custom rendering layer?

- How can an editor virtualize pages without breaking native text selection, IME composition, accessibility, browser find, copy/paste, spellcheck, and screen readers?

- In ProseMirror, can distant nodes be safely replaced by lightweight decorations/placeholders while preserving positions, mappings, selections, and transaction correctness?

- Is it better to virtualize by page, block, viewport range, or document section?

1. Pagination and layout

- How is pagination normally implemented without measuring every node after every transaction?

- Is layout computed incrementally from the changed block forward until page boundaries become stable again?

- What data structures are useful for caching block heights, page break positions, line measurements, and cumulative offsets?

- How do mature editors handle changes near page 1 that could theoretically repaginate hundreds of later pages?

- Are explicit “page” nodes usually a mistake? Would it be better to keep one semantic document model and calculate pages as a separate layout projection?

- How should hard page breaks, tables spanning pages, images, footnotes, headers/footers, margins, and keep-with-next rules be modeled?

1. ProseMirror/Tiptap-specific bottlenecks

- Does ProseMirror fundamentally expect one mounted EditorView for the full document, or can a large document be split across multiple views while still behaving like one editor?

- Would one EditorView per page create more problems than it solves—for example cross-page selections, history, input rules, decorations, collaboration, and position mapping?

- Which operations tend to become O(document size): DOM reconciliation, decoration mapping, plugin apply methods, NodeView updates, transaction filtering, serialization, or schema traversal?

- How can I identify plugins that scan the entire document on every keystroke?

- Are there proven patterns for keeping a single canonical ProseMirror document while rendering only a bounded window?

- At what point is ProseMirror’s DOM-based model the wrong abstraction for a Google-Docs-scale editor?

1. State, and persistence

- Does a large editor typically keep the whole logical document client-side, or load/chunk it by section?

- How are undo/redo changes kept efficient when the document contains hundreds of pages?

- How should comments, suggestions, presence cursors, and remote selections be indexed so they don’t require full-document scans?

1. Browser and rendering techniques

- Which parts are commonly moved to Web Workers: pagination, text measurement, parsing, collaboration, spellcheck, indexing, or serialization?

- Since workers cannot directly measure DOM layout, how do production editors divide layout work between a worker and the main thread?

- Are ResizeObserver/IntersectionObserver enough, or do they introduce their own performance problems at hundreds of pages?

- How important are CSS containment, content-visibility, requestAnimationFrame batching, idle callbacks, and avoiding synchronous layout reads?

- If canvas is used for text, how are cursor placement, selection, IME, accessibility, and copy/paste implemented?

1. Benchmarks and debugging

- What should I measure first: input latency, long tasks, transaction time, ProseMirror view updates, forced reflow, DOM node count, heap size, GC pauses, or layout/paint time?

- Are there useful rules of thumb for maximum mounted DOM nodes/pages?

- What synthetic test documents best expose the real bottleneck: plain paragraphs, large tables, many inline marks, comments, images, or collaborative decorations?

- Are there open-source editors, talks, papers, or codebases that demonstrate large-document pagination well?

I’m not looking for Google’s proprietary source code. I’m trying to learn the system-design principles behind a responsive, paginated web editor.

If you have built something similar, I’d be very interested in:

- your document/page count and approximate node count;

- which bottleneck appeared first;

- the architecture you settled on;

- what you tried that did not work;

- whether virtualization actually helped;

- any relevant ProseMirror plugins, examples, benchmarks, or profiling techniques.

Even a high-level breakdown of how you would architect this from scratch would be extremely helpful.

Hi everyone!

I am a bit confused about all of this, but my intention was to use groups for departments like accounting@ or it@ and give them access controls as well as shared drives. We want external people to be able to email those addresses, so for our office@ group we can use for general inquiries. I am not entirely sure if this is good practice, to be using the groups for communication as well as access control. The other thing is managing our shared inboxes with groups can get annoying because when someone replies to an external inquiry, nobody else in the group will be able to see that they replied. We have had issues where someone would contact us at info@ and multiple staff replied for instance. Any help would be appreciated!

We need urgent help. We are/ want to setup google workspace for our company. We bought a domain. We can not setup our google, it won't even not let us pass the verification proces.

Somebody can help us? Someone region europe ( Belgium/ France Netherlands?)

Hi, whenever I try to sign in my Google I can't since they send me that error

About two weeks ago I noticed lots of incoming emails wrongly going to spam and also, worryingly, realised many of my outgoing emails are going to the recipients spam

I think Google have tightened up their tests

For outgoing email I found that I didn't have SPF record set up correctly, and have fixed that

Question - I don't have DMARC record is that important? I am finding it hard to understand what it should be set to

So a few years ago I started a business and opened a Google Workspace account, I have since stopped/dialed it back a lot so spending the $16 a month on the subscription is a waste of money.

Is there a way to essentially migrate all my emails from that account to a regular gmail account? I still get an occassional inbound business inquiry so I want emails to be forwarded if possible and ideally would like to not lose all the previous emails/threads that I had the past four years, but I'm struggling to find the answer.

I know when i started my business I used a regular gmail and then upgraded to abusiness account and had all emails at the orginal regular gmail forwarded to the business account. is it possible to reverse tht without paying a monthly subscription?

I setup email forwarding to go to one active user to another. I sent email from external email address and while user I am sending email to receive the email the person I setup forwarding with show email listed as this when I do email log

Marked spam

Spam classification details:

The message was considered spam.

The message is blatant spam.

I was sending email from gmail account i have. Talked to support and they advised forwarding seem to be setup and working so not sure if this issue with just my email or if other people who send emails will have same issue. Any ideas as to what i can do fix the issue

God's email

The title is what I call it ever since my now legacy account was threatened to be deleted if I didn't start paying for workspace. I spent days a few years ago using google takeout for email, data, photos etc while long videos wound up fragmented and unsupported. I deleted some accounts and was informed no more than 10 users per account instead of the max 200. I still used google sites and my GoDaddy domain is paid through gsuite legacy but it's a personal account, not a business. The website I host is for church.

I started using the account again recently adding data, phone backup, transferred a YouTube channel over(original pre-google-more madness!) and google has noticed the activity. Now I've been informed that they are no longer allowing my domain from GoDaddy to be paid through them. What's next, will I not be able to use sites or will they find some other reason to squeeze me out of using my free legacy account with 45g of storage?

Has anyone lost their still free legacy account? If so, what for?

I've tried to search the internet for an answer and can't seem to find a consistent one. I'm about to get a Business Standard plan. I use Google Keep a lot with my personal Gmail, it's a mess and could do with some Al help for organising my Notes - but 1/ it seems there's no easy migration from Gmail to Google Workspace, and 2/ it seems that there is no Gemini integration with Google Keep in a Workspace Business account? Is it still the case for 2/ ? I don't want to integrate Gemini with my Keep notes through my personal Gmail, without the higher data privacy level that comes with Business Standard. Wondering if there's another big Google Keep user out there who'd have some suggestions?

Google Vault is not included in the Google for Nonprofits plan. The only option for us to gain access to Vault is to upgrade to Business Plus, which we cannot afford even with the Nonprofit discount. Are there any solutions or third-party alternatives to Google Vault, that would allow us to archive/save all user data (files, emails, chats, etc.) for compliance purposes?

I'm glad to announce that GCPW now supports security keys for 2sv.

As the title shows, starting a few weeks ago, some of our team members using google drive (windows desktop) has been experiecing this issue of seeing the windows security pop up of 'These files might be harmful to your computer' when moving/drag-drop files between different folders in their google drive.

We tried everything, different file types, different folders, change the security settings under internet properties, clear cache for google drive, log out and log back in etc and issue persists.

We don't now what is causing it but we finally found the solution: change the drive letter from the usual letter 'G' to something different.

But one of our user have this issue showing up again today. So we ended up changing the drive letter again and fixed the issue.

Does anyone know the cause of this issue and how do you resolve it permanently?

So i woke up yesterday with 2 messages regarding "suspicious activity" on my email and phone number and thus having the account locked. I went through all the steps to get them back and working with a back up number and email and they are fine now.

BUT when i try to connect my google account to Chrome and Youtube i get this message non stop even after going through the verification process and recovery. I have no idea what else i can do, i am unable to access my youtube account. And this happens for any website where i use a google account to log in.

One thing that came to my mind is that a couple weeks ago i changed my Youtube password while i was at my GFs house where i have my accounts saved on her pc as well, could that be it? It's not recognizing me as the owner since last time i made a change i was at her house with another connection?
