Users can now fire up Gemini in Google Sheets using the usual side panel 
launch, and enter a prompt such as create a chart with date on the x-axis and 
total on the y-axis.

then be inserted, first on a new tab, where various attributes can be edited, 
such as title, colors, and more.

change to reflect this, rather than having to create a new chart each time.
