Developers can now add form field validation to Google Workspace add-ons and Google Chat app cards

Was sich ändert

Starting today, Workspace add-ons and Chat app developers can add client-side input validation to Chat apps and add-ons. 
Specifically, the card UI now supports required form field validation on the date-time picker, the multi select menu, the drop down menu and text input widgets via the Action API for add-ons und Chat apps. Additionally, text inputs now support input type and format validation with input length limits via the Validation API for add-ons und Chat apps
As a result, developers can ensure data accuracy and improve their app’s user experience by catching errors before information is submitted. 
Example of the form validating if the user has populated all the required fields before submitting a form.

Additional improvements to everyday actions in Google Sheets

Was sich ändert

Last year, we announced that we’ve doubled the calculation speed in Google Sheets, which improves the speed of actions like formulas, pivot tables, conditional formatting, and more, regardless of your file size. 
Today, we’re excited to announce additional improvements available for everyday actions in Sheets:
  • Pasting data is now up to 50% faster when you’re pasting from one spreadsheet to another
  • Filter conditions can now be set up to 50% faster than before 
  • Spreadsheets now load existing data up to 30% faster 

Wer ist davon betroffen?

  • A small business owner can quickly see their data load.
