Introducing new smart canvas features in Google Sheets and Google Docs

What’s changing

As Google continues to innovate with smart canvas, it's introducing even more smart chips and a new way to display the date on Google Sheets, giúp bạn dễ dàng xem trước và tương tác nhanh với ngày, địa điểm và thông tin tài chính. Ngoài ra, Google đang thêm chip đồng hồ bấm giờ vào Google Docs có thể theo dõi thời gian cần thiết để hoàn thành một hoạt động, giúp bạn luôn hoàn thành nhiệm vụ đúng giờ.

• Vị trí chip: Khi một vị trí chip của Google Maps được thêm vào Google Sheet của bạn, bạn có thể mở vị trí trực tiếp trong Google Maps và xem bản xem trước của vị trí hoặc tìm chỉ đường.

Expanded date capabilities: Include dates in your Sheet more easily using the @ entry point with shortcuts like @today, @yesterday, @tomorrow, and @date. Clicking on the date will display a date picker that allows you to update dates as needed.

• Finance chips: Add Google Finance entities, such as stocks, mutual funds, and currencies into a Sheet. Hover over the chip to preview information depending on entity type. For example, for stocks, you can see company name, listing Index, stock price, and market cap. Clicking the chip will take you to the entity’s dedicated Finance page.

• Stopwatch Chips: When a stopwatch chip is inserted, you can start, stop, and reset the timer as needed.
