Use smart chips in Google Sheets as links on mobile
With smart canvas, you’re currently able quickly add people and files into Google Sheets with smart chips on the web. Starting this week on mobile, these chips are treated like linked text and will show relevant hovercards and context menu items.

This feature is only available to those using Google Chrome.

Reminder to migrate your classic Google Sites before January 30, 2023
We’re extending the previously announced timeline to give Google Workspace customers more time to migrate from classic Google Sites to new Google Sites:
-
On January 30, 2023
(previously December 1, 2022): We will begin to turn off the ability to edit any remaining classic Sites in your domain. Your classic Sites will remain viewable until the automatic conversion.
-
After January 30, 2023
(previously January 1, 2023): We will begin to automatically convert all remaining classic Sites to new Sites drafts for site owners to review and publish, and export static archives to Google Takeout. Your classic Sites will be deleted after they are converted to new Sites.
Note:
Refer to the CSV file included with the export generated after your domain’s autoconversion completes for any classic Sites we were unable to convert. Learn more.
