# Read Files Inline, in Chat and Drive

Improvement · 2026-06-21

## Details

Until now, a file your employee produced often showed only a Download button, so checking a quick figure meant pulling it down and opening it in another app. Now files render inline: spreadsheets as a scrollable table sheet by sheet, Word documents and PDFs as the actual pages, data and code as formatted content, both in the chat message and in the Drive file viewer. Download is still there whenever you want the original.

## What changed

- Excel, Word, PDF, and CSV open as readable content inline
- Works in chat and in the Drive file viewer
- Spreadsheets render each sheet as a table
- Download the original anytime
