The Gemini app gained a library of immersive explorations, in-chat file and code creation, preview and editing, and Gemini in Google Slides can now edit multiple slides or an entire presentation from a single prompt.", "body_md": "We are making it easier to verify your AI-generated data and scale your workflows in Google Sheets. When you use the AI function to generate cell values, Gemini will now provide the exact web sources referenced directly within each individual cell. | [Learn more](https://workspaceupdates.googleblog.com/2026/10/fill-with-gemini-now-provides-cell-level-citations-for-web-sources-and-supports-larger-requests.html).\n\nGoogle Sheets now supports compact form layout for pivot tables, which keeps multi-level pivot tables readable while reducing excessive horizontal scrolling. | [Learn more](https://workspaceupdates.googleblog.com/2026/10/apply-compact-form-layout-for-pivot-tables-in-Google-Sheets.html).\n\nWe’re introducing a library of immersive explorations in the Gemini app, giving users an interactive, visual way to explore topics layer-by-layer, from microscopic systems to deep space. Users can access this library in the Gemini student hub by clicking on “Try immersive explorations” and will soon be able to access these immersive explorations directly in a chat conversation with Gemini. | [Learn more](https://workspaceupdates.googleblog.com/2026/10/immersive-explorations-now-available-in-the-Gemini-app.html).\n\nWe’re introducing new ways to create and refine files and code in the Gemini app. You can now generate, preview, and edit files right within your Gemini app chat—expand to full screen to type edits directly, highlight text to ask questions, or have Gemini refine them. | [Learn more](https://workspaceupdates.googleblog.com/2026/10/create-preview-and-edit-files-directly-in-the-Gemini-app.html).\n\nYou can now use Gemini in Google Slides to edit multiple slides or an entire presentation at once. With a single prompt in the Slides side panel, you can update content throughout a deck, refresh visual styles in bulk, or match the style of another presentation. | [Learn more](https://workspaceupdates.googleblog.com/2026/10/edit-entire-presentations-with-gemini-in-Google-Slides.html).\n\nThe announcements above were published on the Workspace Updates blog over the last week.
