What’s changing
Earlier this year, we added place chips, finance chips, and expanded date capabilities to Google Sheets as the latest innovations in smart canvas. Today, we’re adding even more features that help you access and include rich, context-setting information directly in Sheets.
Previously in Docs, we’re expanding YouTube chips to Sheets to help you more easily manage YouTube content. This feature allows you to add YouTube data, such as the title, description, and video preview, directly into your spreadsheet cell. Simply copy and paste a YouTube link into the cell, hover over it, and click the “Chip” option included in the “Replace URL” hovercard.
You can also now insert multiple smart chips and text into a single cell using the @ menu. This enhances your ability to quickly preview and interact with even more context-setting information in Sheets.
