March 26
A logging error prevented Search Console from reporting on Web Stories in Google Images from August 28, 2023 until March 26, 2024.

Google Search has changed the way event rich results appear in Search results. As a result, you may see a drop in clicks and impressions for your event search appearance reported metrics in your performance report. This doesn’t indicate a real drop in traffic, only in the way we categorize it in Search Console.
