Google adds file previews and editing inside Gemini chats

Editing the file inside the conversation

Google added file previews and direct editing inside Gemini chats on October 29. Users can expand a preview, type changes or highlight text for Gemini to refine. Google said the capabilities were available to all users in supported languages, including personal accounts and Workspace customers with access to the Gemini app. [1][2]

PDF preview and editing work on web and mobile. Google listed documents, spreadsheets, slide decks, Markdown, text and code as web-only in this workflow. The event concerns the in-chat editing experience, rather than a claim that Gemini first gained file generation that day. [1]
