Google's refreshed sharing-controls guide points publishers to Search Console's generative AI setting. Map parent and child properties before making a change that may reach beyond the page you are reviewing.
Google has added a multimodal search-type filter to Search Console. It separates image-led Search demand from text-query reporting; it does not create a new AEO ranking lever.
Google now documents creator or author data and supported video interaction types in VideoObject markup. The useful response is better provenance, not a promise of AI visibility.
Google's Preferred Sources button can help an existing reader choose a publication in Search. That is audience participation, not a general AEO ranking control.
Google's latest documentation clarification is blunt: text added through CSS content is not in the DOM and Search ignores it. Treat pseudo-elements as decoration, not as a place for answer-worthy copy.
Google's newly documented EEA local-business units create a specific route for direct providers and aggregators. They are a regional search feature, not a new answer-engine ranking factor.
