We’re launching two new settings that will allow admins to control whether their users can add recovery email information and phone information to their Google Workspace account. 

By default, the ability to add a recovery email or phone number is ON for most Workspace users and K-12 super admins, but it should be noted that:

The AppSheet Admin Console gives admins visibility into the users, apps and licenses associated with their AppSheet users. From here, admins can: 
  • Review the most popular apps and creators. 
  • Review how many apps are owned and used for every user account. 
  • View all of their organization's app users. 
  • Verify the AppSheet licenses purchased, assigned and used. 
  • Export a list of accounts, users, apps and licenses. 

Since Public Preview, we’ve added more functionality: 
  • Historical app usage: Admins can see app usage history for all accounts in their organization up to three months starting today and soon extending to six months. 
  • Self-serve provisioning: Admins can choose how their enterprise licenses are provisioned - either through license assignment in the Workspace Admin Console or automatically upon login to AppSheet.  
  • Organizations as the new standard: New and existing Workspace customers can manage all of their secondary domain users under a consolidated AppSheet organization.

Who’s impacted

Admins


Why it’s important

We’ve heard from our customers that in order to effectively manage AppSheet activity in their organizations, they need visibility into its usage. This includes information regarding how many users are using an AppSheet license, who is accessing their teams apps, and more. Expanding access to the AppSheet Admin console provides admins with these critical metrics, enabling them to understand how the tool is being used and govern the use of the tool as needed.


Additional details

The Licenses page will remain in public preview pending some supporting launches and additional enhancements expected early in 2025.

What’s changing

Beginning today, admins now have the option to set up a custom OpenID Connect (OIDC) profile for single sign-on (SSO) with Google as their Service Provider. OIDC is a popular method for verifying and authenticating the identities - this update gives admins more options for their end users to access cloud applications using a single set of credentials. Previously, only OIDC with pre-configured Microsoft Entra ID profile was supported in addition to SAML.

Custom OIDC profiles can be configured in the Admin console at >Security > Authentication > SSO with third party IdP

Starting a chat migration in the admin console

When a migration starts, the UI displays a visual report that breaks down tasks with individual progress bars for tasks that are successfully completed, skipped, failed or have warnings.


The final step to complete the migration is to roll out spaces, making migrated spaces and their content available to users.





Additional details

  • The Chat migration tool doesn’t delete or modify existing Google Chat spaces or messages. 
  • You can also run a delta migration, which will migrate any messages added to Teams channels since the primary migration. Messages that are already successfully migrated are skipped.
  • Once a migration is complete, you can export a report that contains detailed information regarding content that skipped, failed or had warnings during the migration.
  • You can find more information in our Help Center about migrating other forms of data from different types of source accounts.

What’s changing

In continuing our effort to ensure Google Chat is your home for collaboration in Workspace, especially for global teams, we’re excited to introduce translate for me in Google Chat. 

As one of the most requested Gemini enhancements in Chat this year, translate for me will automatically detect and translate over 120 languages to a user’s preferred language. Rather than requiring users to navigate outside of Chat to translate a message, this update reduces friction and improves collaboration with colleagues, partners and customers in other parts of the world.

  • Admins: There is no admin control for this feature. 
  • End users: 
    • Automatic translation via translate for me will be OFF by default. Turn ON the automatic translation setting at chat.google.com (web) or on your Android or iOS device by going to Settings > Automatic Translation > select the box for ‘Translate messages to your preferred language.’ 
      • This feature translates messages received into your preferred language (based on your Google account settings). Please allow up to 24 hours for this feature to update languages when languages are changed in your Google account settings.

The charts being added are: 
  • User activity: the number of users based on two types (engaged and communicating) in the last 1 day and 28 days over a period of the last 180 days. 
    • “Engaged” users: these users read conversations. These users may, but are not required to, send messages and react to messages.
    • “Communicating” users: these users send or react to messages. The number of communicating users is a subset of engaged users. 
  • Messages sent: the number of messages sent by users of your organization in 1 day, 7 day, and 28 day period over a period of the last 180 days. 
  • Messages sent by conversation type: the number of messages sent in 1 day in direct messages, group and space conversations over a period of the last 180 days. 
  • Messages sent by type: the number of messages sent in 1 day broken out by message type: regular message, voice or video, huddle over a period of the last 180 days. 
  • Messages sent with attachment: the number of messages sent with or without attachments in 1 day over a period of the last 180 days.
  • Messages sent to conversations with external participants: the number of messages sent to conversation that include or may include users external to your organization over a period of the last 180 days.
  • Created spaces*: the number of spaces created by users of your organization in 1 day over a period of the last 180 days 
  • Active spaces*: the number of spaces owned by your organization in 1 day over a period of the last 180 days.

Updated Apps Reports for Google Chat




Admins can view user level data for Google Chat, as you can with Gmail, Drive, and other apps today. Admins can also view how many conversations were read, how many messages were sent, how many attachments* were uploaded, and more. They can also sort this information by specific organizational units or groups to assess adoption or usage within specific parts of organization

User level reporting for Google Chat



*Active Spaces and Created Spaces charts may show different numbers from those in Active Rooms and Active Rooms legacy charts. Active Spaces and Created Spaces charts only count conversations of ‘space’ type; Active Rooms and Created Rooms count conversations of space group conversation types.
*Attachments can be viewed in the security investigation tool.

Who’s impacted

Admins

Why it’s important

The updated reporting aligns trackable metrics with the current Chat experience and provides essential data for analyzing and driving adoption, configuring safety features, and more. 

For instance, admins can gain a deeper understanding of how their users are engaging with chat, differentiating between those who actively participate (send, react) and those who are primarily only reading messages. Organizational leaders  can use these insights to assess the need for further product training to boost adoption. Additionally, monitoring the volume of messages sent to external users can signal to admins that safety measures should be implemented, like establishing data loss prevention (DLP) rules to safeguard sensitive information.

Additionally, Chat is now represented in app usage reports, alongside other products like Google Drive and Gmail. While each set of apps has their own unique set of metrics, admins now have another data set to draw on when analyzing how their users are interacting with Google Workspace apps

Additional details

With the implementation of these new, information rich charts, we’re planning to remove the following charts on July 1, 2025:
  • Active Rooms
  • Created Rooms
  • Active Users
  • Messages Posted

Also note that:
  • Some metrics will take time to populate, such as the 7-day or 28-day views.
  • If you've used the 'Manage Reports' or 'Manage Columns' features to customize the App Reports or User Reports pages, you'll need to adjust your settings to see the new Google Chat charts and columns. These customization features, which allow you to hide, unhide, and rearrange the order of chats or columns, will prevent the new Google Chat data from automatically appearing in your reports.

The Group Details page in the Admin console shows a “Locked” label on the group, with the message “You can’t update this group - it might be managed by an external identity system.”


Who’s impacted

Admins

Why it’s important

If you use third-party tools, like Entra ID, to manage group synchronization, you may encounter inconsistencies when modifications are made to these groups, like adding or removing members, for example. To help address this, we’re introducing the option to “lock” a group, which will prevent modifications within Google Workspace and help maintain synchronization with the external source. 

When a group is locked, only certain admins* can modify:

  • The group name, description, email, and alias(es)
  • Group labels
  • Memberships (adding or removing members) and member restrictions
  • Membership roles
  • Delete the group
  • Set up a new membership expiry

When a group is locked, access and content moderation settings are not affected, this includes:

  • Who can post
  • Who can view members
  • Who can contact members
  • Membership removals due to an existing membership expiry
  • Access or content moderation settings

*Super Admins, Group Admins, and Group Editors with a condition that includes “Locked Groups”

Additional details

By default, the changes listed above will be restricted from end users, including group owners and managers of a locked group. If you want to also restrict some admins from making these changes in the Admin Console or APIs, you can assign them the Group Editor role with a condition that excludes locked groups. 

The ability to lock or unlock a group using the “Locked” label is available to Super Admins, Group Admins, or a custom role with the “Manage Locked Label” privilege. Lock a group using the “Locked” group label in the Admin Console, or the Cloud Identity Groups API.

Who’s impacted 

End users 


Why you’d use it 

Help me create is designed to help you get started with a first draft of your document. For example: 
  • A marketing manager at a CPG company can create a launch plan for a new product using the following prompt: Create a marketing plan to support the launch of a new line of coffee flavors. Include timing, owners, deliverables, and create a cover image that shows different types of coffee. 
  • A manager can create a vision document to keep their team on track by telling Gemini: Create an overview document of our team charter and goals based on [Team charter brainstorm notes], and include a cover image that shows team bonding in an office setting. 
  • A small business owner specializing in eco-friendly products can create a proposal for a new client by typing: Create a proposal for my new client using the deliverables listed in [Customer meeting notes - November 30, 2024]. Outline the scope of work, pricing, and timing, and create a cover image that shows eco-friendly cleaning products and inline images. 
You can also choose from a variety of starter prompts to expedite the creation process for common document use cases. For example, you can select: 
  • A roadmap for a product launch that includes strategy breakdowns and outlines key milestones, timelines, and initiatives (with the option to include images for each feature). 
  • A party planning checklist with a timeline of tasks, milestones, deadlines, and dependencies. 
  • A template for a 15-minute daily standup meeting with teammates that includes a table for each individual to leave their updates.
