Google is eradicating some HowTo, QAPage, and particular bulletins from assist paperwork

Google has removed the following structured data fields from its Google search help documentation. Google called these have been removed “as they are not used by Google Search and Rich Result Test does not flag any warnings for them.”

Here are the structured data fields that have been removed:

• Under How one: Description.
• Under QAPage: mainEntity.suggestedAnswer.author, mainEntity.dateCreated, mainEntity.suggestedAnswer.dateCreated, mainEntity.acceptedAnswer.author, mainEntity.acceptedAnswer.dateCreated and mainEntity.author.
• Under Special announcement: Provider, target group, serviceType, address and category.

Keep this in mind when using any of these fields. You don’t need to remove them, they just won’t be used by Google Search or the Rich Results Test.
