The GSuite apps (when you’re paying) tell you who looked a spreadsheet, doc etc and when they did it. Missing is how long

But that's not a feature primarily for management, it's a feature for the document creator.

When you send around slides or a doc, there are times when it's actually pretty useful to see who took a look or not -- so if it's important you can ping them. It's not perfect, but it helps.

Privacy-wise it's not a whole lot different from being able to see who's currently viewing the document, which has existed forever.

There's a big difference in how they are being presented and to who the numbers are presented to.

Also comically missing is what document version they looked at. At best, it might say you saw version "Friday".
