The Synergyse Training App is getting a makeover this week.  See below for more information.  Don't forget that the training app is a great source of help on-the-go, but you must be logged into Chrome to access it.

The Synergyse extension has been updated to v1.5.2, all users will be automatically upgraded over the course of this week to the new version and no action is required on your part

Material Design Experience



Synergyse has a fresh new look that follows Google's Material Design guidelines. The training icon is easier to access, and features a larger menu with collapsible sections for faster navigation. You can learn more about the Material Design experience.

What's New Section



When you access the Training menu in any Google application, a "What's New" section shows you the 5 most recent Synergyse training lessons. Now each time you access Training, you are always presented with the newest Training content.
