The product selector list previously included Google Duo and ended with a truncated 'Phone ap' entry. It has been updated to remove Google Duo and add Pixelbook as a supported product, with the 'Phone app' entry now appearing complete. Developers building integrations or help content targeting Google Duo should note its removal from this directory. Those targeting Pixelbook should check whether new platform-specific guidelines now apply to their apps.

The Consumer section of the product list previously included Google Duo; it has now been removed. Additionally, a new partial entry 'Reserve' has appeared at the end of the list, suggesting a new product (likely Google Reserve) is being added to the consumer product lineup. Developers who built integrations with Google Duo under this section should be aware it is no longer listed here. The appearance of 'Reserve' may signal upcoming dedicated guidelines for that product.
