on Monday. The latest update to ChromeOS brings five improvements to features which include the redesigned recently used files section and a filter that allows users to access the Files app through sections split into different periods of time. It also adds a lock-on-lid-close feature to Chromebooks that locks the computer when the lid closes, without suspending the user’s current active session. ChromeOS 107 also introduces Saved Desks, where users now have the option to quickly save and close a virtual desk while retaining the apps and windows in the layout.

The chronological filter on the Files App is switched on by default on ChromeOS 107, and users would not need to carry out any actions to enable the feature, according to
