Google Workspace Weekly Recap - November 13, 2026
Quickly confirm system-applied classification labels in Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Slides
We’re making it faster to confirm automatically applied classification labels in Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Slides. Previously, files labeled by AI classification or default classification rules only showed a Review button in the top banner. Now, when a single label is automatically applied, users with permission to modify it see Accept and Edit buttons directly in the banner. | Learn more
Scale customized AI across your team with skills in Google Workspace and Workspace Studio
Following our initial announcement and recent rollout update, skills in Google Workspace — reusable, custom instructions that guide Gemini to apply your team’s rules, templates, and reference files — are now rolling out across Google Workspace Studio and Workspace apps. | Learn more
Pause and schedule automated workflows with the new “Wait until” step in Workspace Studio
To give teams greater control over the timing and pacing of their automated workflows, we are introducing a new “Wait until” step in Google Workspace Studio flows. With this new flow control step, users can pause a flow at any point in its execution—including inside conditional branches (Check if) and loops (Repeat for each)—and automatically resume it at a specified future date and time or after a set duration (up to 14 days). | Learn more
Schedule meetings in a single click from conversations in Google Chat
With help from Gemini, we’re making it easier than ever to schedule meetings directly from conversations in Google Chat. | Learn more
Expanding Gemini in Gmail to more Google Workspace users
We’re expanding the availability of some Gemini in Gmail features to more Google Workspace users aged 18 and older. Previously available to consumer accounts and specific Workspace editions, these tools are now being brought to the core Workspace experience by expanding availability to all Workspace users 18 years and older to help users with a school or work account manage their communications more efficiently. | Learn more
Organize and communicate complex information with numbered and nested lists in Google Chat
You can now use numbered lists and nested lists in your Google Chat messages. Numbered lists work well for step-by-step instructions, rankings, and agendas. Nested lists let you break a main point into smaller details, which helps for meeting notes, project plans, and status updates. | Learn more
Publish a Sheets canvas as a standalone link
You can publish a Sheets canvas directly to its own link, granting others read-only access to interact with the mini-app without sharing the full source spreadsheet. The published link is separate from the spreadsheet URL and has its own audience setting, so you can publish a canvas to your whole organization even if the file itself is shared with a smaller group. | Learn more
The announcements above were published on the Workspace Updates blog over the last week. Please refer to the original blog posts for complete details.
