Making collaboration more flexible and helpful For over a decade now, we’ve been pushing documents away from being just digital pieces of paper and toward collaborative, linked content inspired by the web. They enabled anytime, anywhere teamwork-a stark contrast to the legacy tools that were designed for an era of individual work on office desktops. When we launched Google Docs and Sheets 15 years ago, these apps introduced the world to a new way of working. With smart canvas, we’re bringing the content and connections that transform collaboration into a richer, better experience in Google Workspace. Specifically, we're enhancing the apps that hundreds of millions of people use every day-like Docs, Sheets, and Slides-to make them even more flexible, interactive, and intelligent. Between now and the end of the year, we’re rolling out innovations that make it easier for people to stay connected, focus their time and attention, and transform their ideas into impact. As part of our mission to build the future of work, we’re addressing these challenges in Google Workspace.Īs we announced today at I/O, we’re launching smart canvas-a new product experience that delivers the next evolution of collaboration for Google Workspace.

None of the data you enter in this tool will be sent to GS1 or anyone else - all of the processing is done on your computer and you can even use this tool offline.After more than a year of remote collaboration, many people are showing signs of digital fatigue. This is particularly important if those pages are not linked from the home page or are only found via a search form or if your website uses javascript for navigation.
Keep in mind that if you have dynamic pages, you might consider using to provide a sitemap (a set of hyperlinks to all current pages), so that search engine crawlers can find all your pages.
If you have a data-driven website with dynamic pages that uses a template system and a database for product master data, you might still find this tool useful for generating some examples of JSON-LD structured data, so that your web development teams can create an additional blank JSON-LD template that is also populated with the same data values that are inserted into the template in the visible part of the page. In this tool, you provide details about the product you manufacture or sell and the tool will generate a block of structured data that you just insert into your web page. The GS1 Web Markup tool makes it easy for you to add structured data about products to your own website, so that the details about the products that you manufacture or sell can be found more easily by search engines and smartphone apps. Using the GS1 Web Markup helper, you can improve your Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) strategy and increase the chances that your products will be found. Some of you will be familiar with enhanced search results such as Google Rich Snippets, which often feature images, maps and other information. By publishing facts about the products you sell or manufacture as structured data, search engines and smartphone apps can more easily find your products and present the correct information to consumers. Many consumers use search engines and smartphone apps when they plan their shopping, to find the best deals and the products that best match their needs.
