You will now have the option to insert a link and press the tab key to convert the link into a smart chip in Google Sheets. Access this feature when you copy and paste email addresses or links to Google Drive files, Google Maps places, or Youtube videos into a Sheet. | Learn more about
inserting smart chips in your Google Sheets.
Last week, we announced a more creation-focused experience when first opening the Sheets and Slides apps on Android devices. We’re extending this to the Docs app, which will now start in edit mode for foldable and tablet devices. Additionally, the formatting toolbar will be more visible, you will see an I-beam cursor, and tapping once exposes an on-screen keyboard unless a physical keyboard is attached.
The announcements below were published on the Workspace Updates blog earlier this week. Please refer to the original blog posts for complete details.
Pin links to the top of the navigation bar in the Admin console
Admins can now pin up to five links to the top of the left-hand navigation menu. This is particularly helpful if there are areas of the admin console you navigate to more than others, helping to save clicks and navigate to relevant pages faster. | Learn more about
the top of the navigation bar in the Admin console.
Customize error messages for Google Chat data loss prevention rules, available in open beta
For new and existing data protection rules for Google Chat, you can now customize the message shown to users when a message is blocked or intercepted.
