through the process, step by step.
Google reads every piece of feedback submitted, and it helps shape the products we know and love, in this case Google+. Vic Gundotra (a.k.a Mr.Google+) even said it himself how important user feedback is, in our exclusive interview with him last month:
"It’s important for us to deliver an experience that users ultimately want. We listen very carefully to the community’s feedback so that we can deliver features that really improve their experience." - +Vic Gundotra
Ready to share your feedback? Excellent! The first thing to do would be to access the Google Feedback tool. Thankfully, Google has made accessing and using the feedback tool very straightforward, and is always a keyboard key press away.
Cogwheel Menu
One way to access Google Feedback is to click on the cogwheel menu, which can be found on most, if not all pages, from the stream to profiles, pages and communities.Look for the cogwheel menu to access "Send feedback" |
Keyboard Shortcut
Alternatively, just press the '@' key on your keyboard to go straight to the feedback form, from any page on Google+.Step 1 - Description
As it says on the form, you can submit anything from problem reports, feature ideas and general comments.
Depending on the type of your feedback, it's usually best to keep the description short and to the point, i.e. - Don't waffle on. Google most likely get hundreds or thousands a day, so keeping it short and sweet means that the team can deal with your report quicker and more efficiently.
When you're done with your description, just click "Next".
Step 2 - Using the Built-In Screenshot Tools
A picture is worth a thousand words, this is why Google added a built-in screenshot feature |
On the next screen, you are offered to highlight parts of the page that is relevant to your feedback. Once complete, a screenshot will be taken, so make sure to use the 'Black out' tool to hide any personal information you do not wish to share.
