Google has added to some listings in the local panel in its search results a "Share" button within the three dots in that listing. Previously, the three dots had the ability to suggest an edit, learn more about the data and maybe claim the listing.

Now Google brought back the share feature from 2017 within that menu.

This change was spotted by Claire Carlile who posted about this on X. She wrote, "New layout for local knowledge panels...the 'new' one has a nice clean and tidy feel and includes a 3 dot share link to the 'entity'...which is interesting."

Here is a GIF of it in action:
