Welcome to the last What’s Up Wednesday of September!

Google Sheets

V3 of Google Sheets was scheduled to shut down today, but has been extended to January 26, 2021. Even with this extension, it is still a good idea to update your workflows to V4. For more information see this article. If you are creating a workspace with 2020.1 or newer, the Google Sheets reader/writer will automatically use V4.
