Google Search Console To Change Coverage Report To Pages Report?

Remember the new video page indexing report Google demonstrated at Google I/O? Well, I didn't pick up on this but Google may be renaming the "coverage" report to "pages" report. If you look at the screenshot Google shared at Google I/O, the coverage report was renamed to "pages."

Google Inclusive Schema For Image Search Monk Skin Tone Scale Not Here Yet

One of the announcements at Google I/O was a new way to filter image results by skin tones. Part of that announcement, that I embedded in my coverage, was Google saying content creators will be able to use "inclusive schema to label their content with attributes like skin tone, hair color and hair texture."
