What happened
Google launched a feature called Sheets canvas. You type a plain text prompt into a spreadsheet to create visual layouts. The tool turns data into interactive dashboards, study trackers, and seating charts.
The context
Building visual dashboards inside spreadsheets usually requires manual layout setup and chart configuration. This update automates that layout work directly inside Google Workspace.
