This option is missing now for us, @dooBdoo, as to what you're kindly showing above here.

We don't have the sign-out buttons. 

I don't know "what" happened to change things...

I'm thinking that it was probably one of the recent Chrome updates for our Chromebooks, since we both have Chromebooks but they're different makes and models. I use and HP Chromebook and my husband is using an ACER Chromebook but we both have the exact same issue. 

One thing that I did figure out is that when there are OS updates for the Chromebook, they're different than the OS updates for the Chrome browser that you have with your Mac or Windows PC, for example.

The Chrome browsers that are independent from the Chromebook are a little bit different.  

It would be much easier if things were the same when it comes to technology, wouldn't it?!

               I believe you're spot on about this being specific to the Chromebook OS, @Toppers3!😊   I did a few searches for something like "gmail sign out button missing chromebook" and discovered a number of discussions about this very thing.    Evidently it was a deliberate change with their new account manager.   Here's a thread on the Chromebook support site with a lengthy explanation by the "Product Manager for the Chrome OS account manager" which might be useful:

Over the last four or five years, I've probably gotten over a hundred dollars in free Amazon gift cards from Microsoft for using Bing. I'm almost up to redeeming my points for another one now. In the next few days/weeks, I should have the points I need. I get the search results I need and I get paid for doing it. It's a win-win.

I just got another $5 reward from Microsoft/Bing today in the form of an Amazon gift card.

Thanks for looking this up, @dooBdoo ! 

I appreciate your help. For some reason, I missed seeing your post about this until now. 

Google has been making changes to their account section, so this does not surprise me.

            @Toppers3,  You're welcome!   I'm just glad you saw it and I hope it was helpful.😊

  Yes @Spurt 

I keep saying, "Google went stupid".

It suddenly doesn't seem to be able to answer anything. Keeps giving me answers to questions I didn't ask,  bringing up what it wants to put in front of my eyes, rather than what I asked for.

Took a while but finally noticed where it says

All  Images   maps   news

...and so on, at the far end it says

Search Tools.

Tap to get a choice between

All Results  and  Verbatim.

Tap to get verbatim.

Who the heel is going to tap in their question, then keep tapping to get to verbatim?

It's like saying, no Google, i really meant to ask you what i asked, not what you wanted to tell me about.

    Arrrrgh!!!
