   <p>GNOME &gnomeversion; is the latest version of GNOME 3, and is the result of 6 months’ hard work by the 
GNOME community. It contains major new features, as well as numerous smaller improvements and bug fixes. The 
release incorporates &gitcommits; changes, made by approximately &gitauthors; contributors.</p>
 
-<p>&gnomeversion; is code-named “Gothenburg” in recognition of this year’s GUADEC host city. In future, each 
GNOME release will be named in this way.</p>
+<p>&gnomeversion; is code-named “Gothenburg” in recognition of this year’s GUADEC host city. GUADEC is 
GNOME's main annual conference, and is only possible due to the hard work of local volunteers. Thank you to

-    <p>With GNOME &gnomeversion;, it is now possible to access Google Drive directly from the Files 
application, as well as from file chooser dialogs. To use the feature, simply add your Google through the 
Online Accounts settings, and Google Drive will automatically appear in the files places sidebar whenever you 
are.</p>
-    <p>File upload and folder creation are both supported. Recognized files are opened using your local, 
native applications. Files that are specific to Google Drive are opened using the browser.</p>

+    <p>Once set up, Google Drive behaves very similarly to the rest of your files: Google Drive folders can 
be created just like regular folders and, where possible, files are opened using your normal applications 
(otherwise, they are opened in the browser).</p>
+    <p>This new feature makes it really easy to upload files to Google Drive - all you have to do is move or 
copy them across.</p>

     <title>Files Improvements</title>
     <media type="image" src="figures/placeholder.png"/>
-    <p>&gnomeversion; includes numerous improvements to the files experience. A new location has been added 
to the files places sidebar, called <gui>Other Locations</gui>. This provides a useful overview of local 
volumes, as well as network locations. These locations are no longer add to the sidebar by default, which 
helps to avoid clutter. The places sidebar has also been updated to make it easier to add bookmarks by drag 
and drop.</p>
-    <p>Other changes include:</p>
+    <p>The files places sidebar, which is shown in Files and open and save dialogs, has been reworked for 
&gnomeversion;. A new location, called <gui>Other Locations</gui>, has been added, which provides a useful 
overview of local and network locations. Many of these locations are no longer automatically shown in the 
places sidebar, which helps to avoid clutter.</p>
+    <p>Long-running operations (such as copying or moving large numbers of files) have also been improved: a 
temporary indicator now provides progress information in the header bar, which shows more detailed 
information when pressed. This allows you to easily see progress on ongoing operations from any Files window, 
and avoids progress windows getting in the way.</p>
+
+    <p>There have been many small improvements to the Files application and to open and save dialogs during 
the &gnomeversion; cycle. Here are some of them:</p>
     <list>
-      <item><p>Dialogs for creating folders have been introduced, alongside popovers for renaming files and 
folders. This helps to avoid errors, and allows helpful feedback to be provided. This change was introduced 
following user testing results.</p></item>
-      <item><p>Recursive search is now automatically disabled when searching remote locations, in order to 
prevent performance problems.</p></item>
-      <item><p>Better feedback when no search results are found.</p></item>
-      <item><p>Feedback about ongoing operations has been streamlined, with a new indicator in the header 
bar. This allows you to easily see progress on ongoing operations from any Files window, and means that 
pop-up windows won’t get in the way.</p></item>
+      <item><p>Improved folder creation, and improved file and folder renaming. These operations now use 
dialogs and popovers to provide feedback, and a clearer workflow. (This change was introduced following user 
testing results.)</p></item>
+      <item><p>A new search feature has been added to files dialogs, which is activated by just typing and 
is consistent with other GNOME applications.</p></item>
       <item><p>Improved touch screen compatibility, particularly through context menus.</p></item>
-    </list>
-    <p>Many of these changes can be found in file chooser dialogs, as well as Files. At the same time, file 
choosers have received their own improvements:</p>
-    <list>
-      <item><p>A new search feature, which is activated by just typing and is consistent with other GNOME 
applications.</p></item>
-      <item><p>An improved recent files list, which now shows the location of each file.</p></item>
-      <item><p>Refined save dialogs, which now have the file name in the header bar.</p></item>
+      <item><p>When dragging a file or folder, the places sidebar now shows a prominent drop target, in 
order to make it obvious how to create bookmarks through drag and drop. (This change is another response to 
user testing results.)</p></item>
+      <item><p>Information is displayed when a folder is empty, or when no search results are found. This 
helps to prevent uncertainty.</p></item>
+      <item><p>Recursive search is now automatically disabled when searching remote locations, in order to 
prevent performance problems.</p></item>
+      <item><p>Recent files lists have been improved, and now show the full location of each file.</p></item>
