This new feed type makes quick work of making updates to product attributes without having to re-submit the full product feed. +For smaller retailers, a [Google Sheets add-on](https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/2364758) is available that connects the retailer's spreadsheet directly to Merchant Center for a faster and easier upload (to get shopping ads up and running quicker). The add-on helps smaller retailers validate their products directly from sheets, showing any errors or warnings before they update to their data feed. The add-on also enables retailers to upload their entire spreadsheet into Merchant Center without leaving sheets. The results of the upload are displayed directly in the sidebar, giving retailers immediate feedback on feed processing (see image). ![](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/google-sheets-ad-on-2-1-1-1.png?width=550&height=313&name=google-sheets-ad-on-2-1-1-1.png) --- --- ![Amberly Dressler](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Amberly%20Dressler.jpeg) [Amberly Dressler](https://www.websitemagazine.com/ecommerce/author/amberly-dressler) Head of analyst relations, public relations, customer advocacy (People Heroes), customer community, content marketing (full funnel/lifecycle), content operations and optimization, reputation management and social media.
