Bulk moderation of community posts
Just in case you were in the mood for yet another update this week, over the next several days we'll be rolling out a feature for communities that allow moderators to bulk select posts for moderation in the Likely Spam and Held for Review queues.
Moderators can initiate the feature by clicking on Select Posts in the upper left of the queue. This will enable a multiple-select checkbox interface with an accompanying Select All option to apply ban/approve/reject moderation actions in bulk.

Delete, Report, and Block
We are pleased to announce a new Delete, Report, and Block feature that allows G+ users to remove unwelcome comments from their posts. This feature builds upon the Delete, Report, and Block function that was recently launched for community moderators, so that every G+ user can control the conversations in the comment section of their posts.

Delete, report, block
Hello folks, a third update this week. By popular demand, we'll be rolling out a feature over the next few days that will allow you to perform a delete, report, and block action on comments on your posts.
This is similar to the remove, report, and ban action we launched a while ago for community moderators:
https://plus.google.com/+LeoDeegan/posts/3NGFAhREovQ
https://plus.google.com/+LeoDeegan/posts/WjcFN66eRgg
The launch today, however, is to provide you an equivalent action on your own posts.
To invoke this feature, select "Delete, report, and block" from a comment. You can optionally select "Also delete recent comments by this user" if you want to additionally remove recent comments from the user on your posts.
Incidentally, this image is for illustrative purposes. I am not actually planning on blocking +Greg Wolfe, who is a valuable member of our team (and also the lead for this feature).

Advanced search operators
Over the next few days, we'll be rolling out advanced search operators to the Google+ search box to assist you in refining your Google+ search queries. For example, I typed from:"Ina Gat" has:photo commenter:me into the search box and rediscovered this nice bokeh shot from +Ina Gat.
You can search for posts that have particular attachments (like has:poll), posts where you were mentioned (like mention:me), posts before or after a date (like before:2016-04-01), posts in communities or collections, and more! You can even use operators like AND, NOT, and OR.

Highly Requested Updates To Desktop Notifications
Improvements to desktop notification page
Hey folks, over the next couple of days, we'll be rolling out some highly requested usability enhancements to the desktop notifications landing page (plus.google.com/notifications):
Open in a new tab: You will be able open a notification in a new tab via right-click menu, [cmd|ctrl]-click or middle-click. (Note that this keeps the notification in an unread state.)
Profile hovercards: Hovering over any profile picture will bring up the profile hovercard. Additionally, profile pictures are click targets, so they can similarly be opened in a new tab.

An updated lightbox on G+ web that places a greater emphasis on photo captions and comments will be rolling out very soon. The details, including a few minor enhancements to lightbox functionality, can be read below.

Updated lightbox on Google+ Web
Hey folks, another update this week. Over the next few days, we'll be rolling out a new version of the photo lightbox on Google+ Web. The new lightbox, which appears for photos that are part of single-photo posts (not yet for multi-photo posts), places a greater emphasis on the photo caption and comments.
There are a couple of reasons why I'm happy about this new lightbox. First, the EXIF data (found in the "Show information" menu item) brings back the display of the photo date; the previous lightbox displayed the post date. And second, clicking on the back arrow brings you to the post no matter how you arrive at the lightbox (people who found their way to a lightbox without being able to get to the post know what I'm talking about).

Optionally remove recent content from banned community members
Hey folks, over the next several days, we'll be rolling out a feature on Google+ Web that will allow community moderators to choose to remove posts and comments from members they ban.
To invoke this feature, select "Remove, report, and ban" from either a post or comment and then select "Also remove recent comments and posts in the community by this user."
Currently, this will remove recent post and comments from the banned user (you may need to perform a web page refresh to see content removed from you view). We're looking to improve this feature in future iterations, so bear with us with the ambiguity of "recent", which should, in most cases, cover your needs.

Find content and communities from all across Google+ with Discover
Big news today Google+! We’re rolling a brand new Discover stream to help you and new users find the absolutely best content our network has to offer. If you glance over at your left-hand navigation bar, you’ll notice a shiny ‘Discover’ tab waiting to be explored. Inside, you’ll find trending posts from curated sources in a new, denser format. Also inside are Featured Collections, Recommended Communities, and the previously announced Topics - which got a bit of a makeover as well, so be sure to check them out!
New and signed out users will land on Discover (previously ‘Featured Collections’) which puts content from a diverse set of sources front and center. We hope that this creates a better experience for new users that more readily communicates the awesome stuff G+ has to offer while providing existing users with a fun way to find and follow creators they haven’t yet, ahem, discovered.
To make way for Discover, you may have noticed we removed the Collections tab and the Events tab. Don’t worry! Collections and Events aren’t gone; they’ve just been moved. ‘Featured Collections’ have a new home within Discover and ‘Your / Followed Collections’ can be found by clicking on ‘Communities and Collections’ on your profile. Events can now be found in the overflow menu (three dots) on your profile when you can also find your Insights.
These changes will be live on web and iOS within the next day or so for all users. As always, please let us know what you think by replying to this thread or using the ‘Send Feedback’ option on web or in-app. Enjoy!
