Updated Apps Script integrated development environment will replace the legacy experience by Q4 2022
What’s changing
In December 2020, we announced an updated and improved experience for the Apps Script integrated development environment (IDE). Since then, it has been possible to access the legacy IDE. By the end of Q3 2022, we will begin turning down the legacy experience. Beginning Q4 2022, the new IDE will become the default experience with no option to revert.
Who’s impacted
Admins and developers
Why it’s important
Apps Script is a rapid application development platform that makes it fast and easy to create custom business solutions that integrate with Google Workspace and that increase the power of apps including Calendar, Docs, Drive, Gmail, Sheets, and Slides. With this launch, we’ve revamped the cloud-based IDE that helps you create, edit, and manage projects. The new IDE simplifies the experience of developing for Google Workspace — for more information, see our original announcement, as well as additional features we announced in April 2022 to reach parity with the legacy experience.
