Google released new changes to its Smart Chips technology
Google is constantly trying to find ways to make its Workspace platform a worthy competitor to Microsoft Office. Not too long ago, Google introduced smart chips, and the company unveiled some additional features for smart chips in Google Sheets.
Smart chips are a way for you to bridge the gap between Google Workspace products. They let you link to different bits of data present in other platforms.
For example, if you’re using Google Sheets, and you want to add the contact details from a person in your contacts, you can add them as a smart chip. When you hover over this smart chip, you’ll be able to access information like their email address, address, phone number, Etc.
You can add contacts, YouTube videos, Slides presentations, Doc files, and other bits of data as smart chips. This is perfect if you need to link back to another document or give additional information on another person without having to manually type it all the information.
Google added additional functions to smart chips for Google Sheets
Google is steadily improving smart chips. There was just a notable update they landed in February that gave additional functionality to them. Now, according to Techradar, Google added yet another update to smart chips.
This new feature will let you extract data from smart chips and paste them into their own cell. When you tap on a chip, you will see a data extraction panel pop up on the right side of the screen. It will list the types of data that you can pull from the smart chip.
You’re able to pull data like the file owner, MIME type, creation time, who last modified it, when it was last modified, and the file name. It’s a checklist, so you can simply check what data you want to be extracted. Then, Google will do the rest. This is a great way to keep track of important documents.
Google is currently rolling this feature out, so most users should see it in the coming weeks. If not, Google will start a much wider rollout starting on June 14th.
