Google has made some Search updates:
– Google Search now supports discussion forum and profile page structured data
– New Search Console reports to support those who added structured data to their pages
The profile page data will help Google highlight the creator’s name, profile photo, follower count, or the popularity of their content.
With discussion forum data Google Search can better identify online discussions across the web and make use of this markup in features such as Discussions and Forums and Perspectives.
Google also made some changes to the Q&A markup to be more in line with the new discussion forum guidelines.
One of the last changes is that Google added new Search Console reports. With these new reports site owners can monitor discussion threads and profile page markup issues.
To validate your markup Google also made an update to the rich results test.
