Editorial Policy

This editorial policy sets out the standards every Google Edits guide is held to. Our goal is simple: accurate, practical information about Google’s AI tools that you can check for yourself.

What we cover

Gemini photo editing with Nano Banana, NotebookLM, and Gemini in Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets and Gmail). We do not cover topics outside these areas.

Sources and testing

• We test steps and prompts in the products themselves and describe what we observed.
• For facts we cannot test, such as pricing or availability, we rely on Google’s official documentation and say so.
• We name the plan or account type a result applies to wherever it matters.

Read the full process on how we test.

Accuracy and fact-checking

Limits, menus and features change often. Before publishing, we check each claim against the product or an official source. When we cannot confirm something, we say it is unconfirmed instead of presenting it as fact.

Independence

We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Google LLC, or with any government agency. Our findings are not for sale and we do not change them to suit a company. If a page ever includes a sponsored or affiliate link, it will be clearly labelled.

Use of AI tools

We may use AI tools to help with research, drafting or editing. AI is never the final authority: guides are reviewed against the real product before they are published, and prompts we share are ones we have run ourselves.

Corrections

If we get something wrong, we fix it promptly and keep the guide accurate. Report an error through the contact us page. We re-test the claim and update the guide.

Information only

Our guides provide general information, not legal, financial or professional advice. See our disclaimer and about us page.

Sources and Citations

Where a claim depends on how a Google product works, we check it against the product itself and official Google documentation, and link to those pages so you can verify it. We avoid relying on rumours or unverified screenshots.

Independence and Conflicts of Interest

We are independent of Google and of any government body. If a link or mention is ever sponsored or earns us a commission, we will label it clearly, and money never changes what we say about a tool.

Updates and Corrections

We review articles when products change and fix verified errors promptly. Material corrections are noted so readers can see what was changed.

Use of AI in Our Work

We may use AI tools to help with research or drafts, but a person tests the steps, checks the facts and approves every article before publication.

Who Writes and Reviews

Guides are published under the Google Edits Team byline and follow the checks described on this page before going live. Each article is tested, fact-checked against official documentation and read once more for clarity. If you believe a guide is misleading or incomplete, contact us with details, and we will investigate and update it. We welcome constructive criticism because it makes the site more useful.

Our Commitment to Readers

Our aim is to be the guide you can trust when a Google AI feature does not behave as expected. That means checking steps before publishing, being open about limits, and fixing errors quickly. We do not publish guides only to chase search traffic, and we remove or rewrite articles that no longer help. Reader feedback shapes what we write next, which is why we invite questions, corrections and topic requests through the contact page.
