To help you stay on top of messages in Google Chat Spaces, Google has introduced conversation summaries, which provide a helpful digest of conversations in a space, allowing you to quickly catch-up on unread messages and navigate to the most relevant threads.

Conversation summaries is enabled for your account by defaults and you will start seeing summaries in spaces that have many unread messages.

You can now insert an interactive timeline view that allows you to track projects in Google Sheets.

This new visual layer displays project information stored in Sheets, such as the task start and end date, description, and owner.

To create a timeline, navigate to Insert > Timeline, select a data range and then configure the attributes in the timeline settings sidebar.

Once created, you can view the timeline at different time intervals, jump to the current date, change the visual appearance of the timeline by adjusting spacing or using colors, and more.
