Smart Canvas receives enhancements for faster information sharing. New building blocks like smart chips appear across Workspace apps. These chips display dynamic data from other files. Teammates see live customer details or project timelines without leaving their current document.
Google Sheets introduces a timeline view. Teams visualize project phases and deadlines in one glance. This simplifies tracking complex tasks. Sheets also adds automated formula suggestions. These reduce manual data entry errors.
Docs now generates instant summaries for long documents. The tool highlights key points automatically. This saves reading time during research. Docs also improves @-mentions. Tagged colleagues receive actionable notifications with clear next steps.
Javier Soltero leads Google Workspace development. He states: “People need simplicity. These tools remove friction. Teams accomplish more together faster.”
