Lucidpress has created a customized help and introductory document for us, highlighting some of Lucidpress' uses and tips on getting started. This could be handy for both employees and students. Check it out at the link below:
Google Drive Integration
To link LucidPress to your Google Drive, click on your name in the top right corner (once you're logged into LucidPress) and choose "Account settings." Then, on the left, click on "Integrations," then link your Google Drive and follow any directions.
Once you've linked LucidPress with your Drive, you'll be able to store and read from your Drive and even create new LucidPress documents right from the "NEW" menu of Drive.
Lucidchart
Lucidchart is another great tool offered to us by the same team that makes Lucidpress. Lucidchart is a powerful tool for flowcharts, floor plans, Venn diagrams, systems maps, and more. It features the same great features and Google Apps integration as Lucidpress. To access it's full, upgraded version for free, click on this link:

The steps for logging in and linking to your Drive account are the same as above for Lucidpress.
Support for MVS' Official Brand Fonts
In addition to the many fonts they include by default, both Lucidpress and Lucidchart allow you to upload your own fonts. This means, for instance, that you can grab the official MVS fonts from this support article and use them in your document for official branded goodness.
