A summary of announcements from the last week:
The announcements below were published on the Workspace Updates blog over the last week. Please refer to the original blog posts for complete details.
Granular OAuth consent in web apps and Google Workspace add-ons
Earlier this year, we launched an improved version of the OAuth consent screen to the Apps Script IDE and unpublished web apps and Google Workspace add-ons that allows users to specify which individual scopes they would like to authorize for that script. For example, if a script requests access to a user’s Google Sheets and Forms files, and the user only intends to use the script with Sheets files, they can decide to only allow access to their spreadsheets and not their forms. | Learn more about

Data classification labels visible in more places across Google Drive
Beginning today, a Drive item’s applied data classification values will appear across all views on Drive on the web, including Home, My Drive, Shared Drives, and Drive search results. Previously, users needed to either navigate to Details or open the file to know a Drive item’s classification state. Now, users will immediately see the applied classification values when navigating throughout the Drive product. | Learn more about

We are expanding automatic video captions in Google Drive to support 27 new languages. This update improves accessibility for all users—including those who are hard of hearing or speak different languages—while saving time by eliminating manual caption creation and enhancing video searchability. | Learn more about
