Hi @Emily_Roman,  
Thanks for the update, I’ve literally been waiting for this Asana smart chips to roll out since the announcement last year. Question though… the help article reads

> Using Google smart chips, teams can @-mention Asana tasks directly into a Google Doc to surface relevant data from Asana and maintain visibility on workflow progress.

However, I’m only able to surface the chip when i paste a link from asana into a Google Doc. I was hoping that by enabling asana from within my Google workspace i could in fact _ **@-mention** _ and get a prompt to select an asana task to attach. Is that functionality pending or no? Is it possible this a user-error issue I’m facing?

I had the release pushed to my app this morning and it’s messed up the layout badly putting the background picture on top so I can’t really see the text. The browser version works fine. Has anyone else experienced anything similar? Taking away the background doesn’t help as it gets stuck saying it’s syncing.
