Google Workspace Updates

Programmatic comment and suggestion support now available in the Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides APIs

2026-09-30T14:26:19.996-07:00

Developers can now programmatically create, read, and manage comments across Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides using their respective developer APIs. In Google Docs, this update also introduces API support for suggested edits, allowing automated tools and third-party systems to propose document revisions for user review rather than altering content directly.

These additions allow organizations and developers to connect internal review tools, automated content pipelines, and project tracking systems directly to Google Workspace editors. Key capabilities include:

Docs API: Programmatically add, review, and reply to comments, and submit proposed text changes as suggestions.
Sheets API: Programmatically add, review, and reply to comments on specific cells.
Slides API: Programmatically add, review, and reply to comments associated with individual slides and specific presentation elements.

Programmatic comment support within the Docs, Sheets, and Slides Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers remains in developer preview in accordance with the preview status of the MCP servers.

Customize the style of your captions in Google Vids

2026-09-30T12:53:44.308-07:00

Captions in Google Vids are now fully customizable. Until now, captions came in a set style. You can now change their font and typography, where they sit on screen, and how they animate, so they match your brand or the look of your video.

Captions make videos easier to follow when the sound is off or when viewers prefer to read along. Captions that look good help your video catch people's attention on social feeds and in company channels. They also make it look finished and ready to share.

Increased customization options for captions can help:

Marketing and social teams: Match captions to brand fonts and colors for social ads and promo videos.
Creators: Add animated, eye-catching captions to make short videos more engaging.

Introducing skills in the Gemini app and Workspace, plus what’s next for Gems

2026-09-30T09:11:32.290-07:00

We recently introduced skills—reusable prompts that guide Gemini—in the Gemini app and Google Workspace. Over the coming weeks, skills will roll out to Workspace users and eventually replace Gems as the tool for tailoring instructions for specific tasks.

Read on for more details on skills, plus critical information and dates related to the transition away from Gems in the Gemini app, Workspace, Google Classroom, and more.

What are skills?

Skills are reusable, custom instructions that you can leverage any time you’re prompting Gemini in the Gemini app and most Workspace apps. For example, you can create a brand voice skill to help you draft blog posts or a lesson planning skill to save time with class prep. You can even use multiple skills in the same prompt or at different points in the conversation.

To learn more about skills and how to create them in the Gemini app, Gemini Enterprise, and Workspace, business and enterprise users should check out our AI skills 101 handbook. Educational institutions should leverage our Gems transition guide for education. For a comprehensive list of resources, see the bottom of this post.

Note: Currently, skills do not sync between the Gemini app and Workspace apps. If you want to use a skill across both platforms, you must create it separately in each.

Create and use skills in the Gemini app

Use skill builder in Google Docs to craft and share new skills with your team

How do skills differ from Gems?

Unlike Gems, skills function inline in your unified chat threads, meaning you can layer or "stack" multiple sets of custom instructions simultaneously in one prompt. For example, an educator can combine a "weekly newsletter" skill with an "institutional brand guidelines" skill to ensure on-brand communications, while a business user can pair a "vendor evaluator" skill with an "executive email drafter" skill to analyze vendors and draft a recommendation in one step.

In addition, skills are built entirely on the open, Markdown-native SKILL.md standard. This allows you to copy skills you’ve created on other platforms into the Gemini app and Workspace apps.

What happens to Gems?

For now, you can continue creating and using Gems in the Gemini app, though you can no longer create Workspace Studio flows with the “Ask a Gem" step. Existing flows with Ask a Gem steps will continue to work.

Over the coming months, we’ll gradually remove support for Gems across all surfaces and eventually auto-migrate any Gems remaining in the Gemini app to draft skills in the Gemini app. If you’d prefer to migrate sooner, you can manually recreate your Gems as skills in the Gemini app. Because skills in the Gemini app won’t automatically appear in Workspace, you’ll also need to recreate them in Workspace if you want to use them in Workspace apps.

Key dates

October 5, 2026: Skills begin rolling out in Workspace, with an expected completion by mid-November.
October 13, 2026: Skills begin rolling out in the Gemini app, with an expected completion by mid-November.
November 17, 2026: Gems move to the Settings panel of the Gemini app, but users can continue to create, edit, and use them.
No sooner than March 1, 2027 (business and enterprise only): Gems can no longer be created, edited, or used, and they’re removed from the Settings panel of the Gemini app. Flows in Workspace Studio with the Ask a Gem step stop working. Any remaining Gems in the Gemini app are auto-migrated to draft skills in the Gemini app.
No sooner than June 1, 2027 (education only): Gems can no longer be created, edited, or used, and they’re removed from the Settings panel of the Gemini app, as well as Google Classroom and third-party LMS’ supported by Gemini LTI™. Flows in Workspace Studio with the Ask a Gem step stop working. Any remaining Gems in the Gemini app are auto-migrated to draft skills in the Gemini app.

We’ll share more details on the auto-migration with admins at least 30 days in advance.

Getting started

Admins:

Encourage your users to start creating skills and inform them of key dates for the Gems transition, based on the type of Workspace licenses in your organization (see key dates above). Visit the Help Center to view our comprehensive Gems migration guide, and stay tuned to the Workspace Updates blog for more details throughout the transition.
For educators using Classroom or Gemini LTI™, we recommend transitioning to Gemini Notebook (currently available) and Guided Learning (coming soon to Classroom) for personalized student learning and support. Learn more in the Gems transition guide for education.

End users:

Visit the Help Center to learn more about skills in Workspace and skills in the Gemini app, migrating Gems in the Gemini app to skills, and how the Gems transition to skills impacts Workspace Studio flows.
Education users can check out the Gems transition guide for education to learn more. Google Classroom users can also explore our guidance on creating and using teacher-led AI experiences directly in Classroom.

Seamlessly import your emails from any IMAP server to Google Workspace

2026-09-23T11:07:20.507-07:00

We’re excited to announce the GA release of a new, simplified way for Workspace admins to import their past emails from any IMAP-based email provider while setting up Google Workspace.

By using this new feature, Google Workspace admins can import past emails seamlessly in a few clicks from multiple IMAP servers including Hostinger, Zoho, Yahoo!, iCloud, and many more. This significantly reduces the time and effort required to switch to Google Workspace, and consolidates your important emails into one secure location.

You can start the import process in two simple steps:

Connect to the IMAP server of your choice
Type in your IMAP email address and password

Occupancy counting now available for Google Meet on Logitech room hardware

2026-09-23T07:14:06.056-07:00

Understanding room occupancy helps organizations optimize real estate and room design based on user needs. For instance, organizations can track if rooms with older video hardware are being avoided in favor of rooms equipped with better tracking cameras and audio bars.

Admins can review occupancy data in the Google Admin console and optionally download it as a spreadsheet. This feature does not collect or store any personally identifiable information (PII). Because occupancy detection processes data locally on the device, the camera LED indicator may remain off during counting depending on the hardware vendor. Refer to vendor documentation for device-specific information.

New Google Meet 'Take notes for me' settings for admins and end users take effect September 29th

2026-09-22T13:06:18.342-07:00

Previously, we announced new admin and end user settings for Google Meet ‘Take notes for me’ pre-configuration. These settings will begin to take effect September 29th.

Below is the previously communicated information about these new settings.

Admin settings

Previously, admins could only enable or disable automatic note-taking for all meetings. We’re now rolling out a third option, which will allow admins to enable automatic note-taking only for meetings with three or more people.

Customers on Business Standard and Business Plus plans will see this setting turned ON by default on; the setting will be OFF by default for customers on Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Plus, and Frontline Plus plans, as well as those with the Google AI Pro for Education add-on. If you want to change your settings, you can do so in the Admin console. These settings will begin impacting end users on September 29th 2026.

If you currently participate in the Gemini Alpha program, and previously tested this setting, it may already be ON. Please review the current state of the settings for your organization in the Admin console.

End user settings

We’re also introducing a way for end users to enable note-taking only for meetings with three or more participants. Once the “For all meetings I host with 3+ guests” option rolls out, users should revisit their settings to confirm they’re configured as desired. This option will begin rolling out on September 29th.

Getting started

Admins for Business Standard and Business Plus organizations: This new setting is ON by default and will begin impacting users on September 29th. If you want to change your settings, you can do so in the Admin console. Visit the Help Center for more information on how to adjust these settings.

Earlier this year we introduced study notebooks, a dedicated space that turns Gemini into an interactive, adaptive learning platform. They offer personalized lessons based on your learning goal, whether that’s tackling a school course or learning a new skill. Now, we’re excited to share that users of all ages who are signed into a school or work-issued Google account will also have access to study notebooks if the Gemini app and Gemini Notebook are enabled by their admin.

Here’s how study notebooks work:

Create your study notebook: From the left sidebar in the Gemini app, select “New notebook”, and then the “Study and learn” tile. Tell Gemini what you are studying, and upload your class materials or other sources.
Assess your knowledge gaps: You can request progress check quizzes, helping pinpoint your strengths and weaknesses to create a tailored learning baseline.
Study with personalized bite-sized lessons: Follow short, custom lessons with built-in practice quizzes. You can ask in-line questions at any point as you learn.
Track your progress: Monitor real-time mastery via a dynamic dashboard that breaks your goals into objectives, categorizing topics into "Strengths" and "Focus areas," to recommend top-priority lessons.

With study notebooks, students’ learning is grounded in trusted class materials, ensuring that lessons from Gemini are consistent with their curriculum.

This expansion gives educational institutions and organizations a secure way to support more personal learning, reinforcing classroom instruction while keeping study material relevant and accurate.

Getting started

Admins: Study notebooks in Gemini are available if the Gemini app and Gemini Notebook are enabled. As an administrator of your organization's Google Accounts, you can control who can use study notebooks. Study notebooks are available to users who are in a group or organizational unit (OU) with both Gemini Notebook and Gemini set to On. Visit the Help Center to learn more about turning Gemini and Gemini Notebook on or off for users.
End users: There is no end user setting for this feature. Visit the Help Center to learn more.

Rollout pace

Rapid Release domains: Gradual rollout (up to 15 days for feature visibility) started on September 17, 2026.

Availability

Available to all Google Workspace customers and Workspace Individual subscribers outside of the European Economic Area (EEA), as well as users with personal Google accounts globally. Study notebooks will roll out to users in the EEA in the coming weeks.

New manual calculation setting in Google Sheets

2026-09-21T11:54:14.194-07:00

Manual calculation offers users of especially complex Sheets a more streamlined, uninterrupted workspace for advanced analytical workflows. This feature is particularly useful for things like:

Uninterrupted high-volume updates: When pasting or modifying large blocks of data in spreadsheets containing extensive formula networks (such as multi-sheet lookups and aggregations), you can enter all updates smoothly without intermediate recalculations running after every action.
Structured scenario modeling: When adjusting multiple assumption drivers in financial or forecasting models, you can input your variables sequentially and recalculate once. This ensures you only view the complete, final state of the scenario rather than partial, intermediate calculations.
Stabilizing volatile simulations: For spreadsheets utilizing volatile functions (such as random generators or live timestamps), manual calculation lets you freeze the data state so your numbers remain stable while you analyze results or present insights to key stakeholders.

Enabling Manual Calculation Mode

Controlling when Sheets calculates

Getting started

Admins: There is no admin control for this feature.
End users: This feature will be OFF by default and can be enabled by the user by navigating to File > Settings > Calculation Settings in their Sheet. Visit the Help Center to learn more.

Introducing Expert Intelligence in Gemini Notebook

2026-09-17T09:21:01.044-07:00

Users will be able to add compatible ebooks they’ve purchased from Google Play Books directly to a Gemini Notebook, making it simple for them to ask questions about a book and receive responses grounded directly in its text. Readers can also use Gemini Notebooks to help you understand books in new ways, for example, by generating Infographics, Audio Overviews, Quizzes, or more. We’re also providing a book on us for users 18 years or older in the U.S. while supplies last.

Even better, employees and students can combine an author’s expertise with a variety of other sources, including their own information. For example:

A student can upload their class syllabus and lecture notes alongside a purchased book to generate an Audio Overview and practice quizzes to prepare for final exams.
A manager can ask Gemini Notebook to help brainstorm strategies on how to best give employees feedback and navigate tough conversations by consulting a book on management best practices.

Note: To interact with an ebook in a shared notebook—such as asking questions or creating artifacts—recipients must also have purchased an eligible Play Book ebook.

Getting started

Admins: In order for end users to access this feature, they must be in an OU with Gemini Notebook, Google Play, and Google Books set to On. Visit the Help Center to learn more about turning Gemini Notebook and Google Play and Google Books on or off for users.

Tip: For students who need access only to specific books, admins can purchase books using Buy for Groups and allocate to the students without needing to provide Google Play access (available to organizations with Google Workspace for Education Plus or a Teaching & Learning add-on).

End users: There is no end user setting for this feature. To see if a book is eligible for Expert Intelligence, visit Google Play Books. If the ebook is eligible, you’ll see Gemini Notebook listed when you click the “Tools” badge on a book’s detail page, or you can browse eligible books. Visit the Help Center to learn more about adding Play Books ebooks as a source in Gemini Notebook.

View conference room and meeting location details directly on the Google Meet homepage

2026-09-16T08:09:16.595-07:00

Earlier this year, we introduced the refreshed Google Meet homepage on the web to help you stay organized and prepared throughout your entire meeting workflow. Starting today, we’re enhancing the Meet homepage experience by displaying conference room and physical meeting locations directly on upcoming meeting cards. For in-office users this update allows them to see where they need to go directly on their Meet landing page, streamlining their workflow before and between meetings.

Key capabilities of this update include:

Intelligent Room Prioritization: For meetings with multiple rooms across different buildings or campuses (such as all-hands or cross-functional team syncs), Google Meet automatically compares room metadata against the user's Working Location set in Google Calendar. The conference room located in the user's building is moved to the top and highlighted, saving users from having to search through remote room lists.
Wayfinding: Clicking or tapping on a conference room opens building wayfinding or campus map links (where configured by administrators), helping users navigate to unfamiliar rooms with ease.
Google Maps Integration for Physical Locations: For offsite meetings, client visits, or events that specify a street address rather than a conference room, clicking the location opens Google Maps directly for turn-by-turn directions.
Contextual Visibility: Room and location details are prominently visible on cards for meetings that are "Happening Now" and "Starting Soon" (< 10 minutes). For later meetings, location details appear on hover. If an event has multiple rooms or both a room and an address, hovering reveals an overflow button listing all locations.

Getting started

Admins: There is no admin control for this feature. Conference room details are automatically populated from the building and room resources configured in the Google Workspace Admin console (under Directory > Buildings and resources).
End users: There is no end user setting for this feature. Go to the Google Meet homepage on the web to use the enhanced experience. To take full advantage of local room prioritization, users should ensure their working location is set in Google Calendar. Visit the Help Center to learn more about setting your working location.

Rollout pace

Rapid Release domains: Gradual rollout (up to 15 days for feature visibility) started on September 14, 2026
Scheduled Release domains: Gradual rollout (up to 15 days for feature visibility) starting on September 28, 2026
