Admins can now assign administrator roles to users, groups, or service accounts for a defined period of time. Once the expiration time is reached, the access granted by the role is automatically revoked.

This feature helps minimize security risks by reducing standing privileges and ambient access throughout your organization. It also streamlines administrative overhead, removing the need to manually track and revoke temporary privileges for short-term projects, coverage during employee absences, or external audits.

When assigning a role, super admins can choose from predefined durations (such as 30 days) or set a custom expiration date and time.

Temporary roles cannot be assigned to the primary admin for your organization, as the primary admin requires permanent super admin privileges.

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:

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

Example of email import process from any IMAP server
Additional details
  • You can now import past emails of only one user through this new feature. Visit the Help Center to learn how to import emails from multiple IMAP accounts.
  • You can import users and data only after completing your domain verification and email activation. The data import process runs in the background while you can continue with your Workspace setup.

Getting started

  • Admins: This feature will be available in the setup process for Google Workspace. Once you’ve verified your domain and activated your email records, you will find an option to import from IMAP-based email provider to Google Workspace. Visit the Help Center to learn more about importing emails from IMAP account during setup.
  • End users: This feature is for admins only.

Occupancy counting is now available for Android-based Logitech Gen 2 room hardware (starting with Logitech Rally Board 65) to help measure how meeting rooms are used. This feature brings the same occupancy counting capabilities found on ChromeOS devices to Android-based hardware. Support for occupancy counting will be added next year for earlier Gen 1 devices later as part of an upcoming CollabOS update.

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.



Review room booking and occupancy in the Admin console

Getting started

  • Admins: This feature will be off by default and can be enabled at the domain, organizational unit (OU), or group level. Visit the Help Center to learn more about turning on occupancy detection.
  • End users: There is no end-user setting for this feature.

Introducing Quick notes – high-level overview of main takeaways from your meetings that empowers you to quickly review essential information without diving into every single detail. Designed specifically for the efficient consumption of knowledge, the content fits onto a single page and is strictly limited to the most important meeting action items, outcomes, and talking points. It is built primarily for executive users, or anyone less involved in the deep details, who needs to extract information as fast as possible.

Quick notes is the new default tab in your Take notes for me Doc. For those of you that check notes while on the move, Quick notes will also serve as the new default summary prominently featured in your Take notes for me emails. This ensures you can rapidly absorb the core insights you need before you even open the full document.

If you still want to deep dive into the full meeting note details, you can hop over to the Full notes tab (the previous standard notes layout). This secondary tab preserves all the rich, in-depth context from your discussions whenever you are ready to explore the comprehensive record.

Google Sheets now supports custom sorting and manual reordering in pivot tables. Users can now drag and drop rows and columns on a pivot table to match specific presentation needs and custom business hierarchies, rather than being restricted to standard ascending or descending alphanumeric order. This launch includes the following capabilities:

  • On-grid drag-and-drop: Directly grab and move individual row or column headers with clear drop-zone indicators
  • Multi-item reordering: Select and reposition multiple rows or columns simultaneously
  • Hierarchical preservation: Automatically move nested child items alongside parent fields, maintaining structure across expand and collapse actions
  • Persistent sort states: Preserve custom arrangements across browser sessions, data refreshes, filtering, and layout adjustments

This update also delivers significant improvements for Microsoft Excel file interoperability. Previously, when importing Microsoft Excel workbooks containing pivot tables with manual or custom sort orders, Google Sheets defaulted back to ascending or descending order. Now, imported spreadsheets retain their pivot tables with the exact custom sort order preserved. Furthermore, exporting workbooks back to Microsoft Excel retains these sorted orders for seamless roundtrip compatibility.

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:

  1. 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. 
  2. Assess your knowledge gaps: You can request progress check quizzes, helping pinpoint your strengths and weaknesses to create a tailored learning baseline.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

We’re introducing a new manual calculation setting in Google Sheets to give you precise control over when formulas and other references update. The new manual calculation setting allows editors of complex or data-dense spreadsheets to pause automatic recalculation, batch their edits, and trigger a sheet-wide update at the exact moment they are ready to review the results.

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.

We’re introducing several updates to Gemini Notebook that give users a more personalized and powerful learning experience.

  • Audio recorder: Users can now use a new audio recorder in the Gemini Notebook mobile app (Android/iOS) to capture lectures or record thoughts on the go, with these notes living directly alongside their sources for easy citation and ongoing edits.



  • Real-time conversation with notebooks: Users 18 years or older can now have a real-time conversation with their notebooks using the Gemini Notebook mobile app (Android/iOS) in nearly 100 languages. Because every response is grounded in their sources, users can get step-by-step guidance, ask questions, and interrupt at any time just by speaking.



  • Interactive learning overviews: To help users maintain focus during study sessions, we’re introducing interactive learning overviews under Reports, which weave together summaries and studio outputs like quizzes, flashcards, and mind maps.
  • Improved exam prep tools: We’re expanding exam prep tools with the following updates:
    • New quiz formats include short answer, multiple choice, and fill in the blank.
    • Users can chat with their notebook about their performance on the most recently completed  quiz and flashcard set to help determine where to focus their attention next.
    • Quizzes and flashcards can be customized by adding or editing questions.

  • Short Video Overviews for learning: Users can also create engaging Short Video Overviews in more than 80 languages and even share them with classmates or other people.

In April, we announced notebooks in Gemini as a dedicated, focused space for individual users to organize their projects and conversations. Now, students of all ages, educators, and professionals can access notebooks to keep conversations about a topic organized in one place. For example:

  • Students can upload all of their materials for a specific course into a single notebook to turn Gemini into a personalized, course-aware study partner that can generate custom practice quizzes and simplify complex topics.
  • Educators can upload their curriculum standards, assignment rubrics, and lesson templates to rapidly generate aligned coursework, differentiated learning materials, and targeted student feedback.
  • Professionals can upload product information, project details, research reports, and strategy notes for a specific topic into a notebook to synthesize key insights and draft deliverables.

This tool also combines two of Google’s most powerful AI tools, the Gemini app and Gemini Notebook, to unlock new ways of working and studying. For example, if you’re a student, try adding class notes to a notebook and using Gemini Notebook to create a Cinematic Video Overview. The next day, open the notebook in the Gemini app and ask it to create a study guide based on that same material.

We’re introducing Expert Intelligence, a cross Google initiative that helps users engage with trusted sources through Google AI products, starting with Gemini Notebook. Featuring more than 100,000 books from major publishers, employees and students can now incorporate insights from leading authors, publications, and domain experts directly into Gemini Notebook.

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.

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.

Data regions are critical for helping organizations meet internal compliance, legal, regulatory, and data sovereignty obligations by controlling the geographic location of covered data at rest and through data processing. Expanding these controls to Apps Script allows organizations—including those in highly regulated industries and the public sector—to build, deploy, and automate enterprise workflows with confidence that their script data and executions remain within designated geographic boundaries.

When a data regions policy is applied to an organizational unit or group, Apps Script data storage and runtime execution adhere to the specified region:

  • Data at rest: Script project files, code definitions, manifest configurations, trigger metadata, and key-value storage (such as Property Service and Cache Service) are stored within the designated geographic region. 
  • Data processing: Script executions, container-bound automations, and associated runtime operations are processed within the selected region.

Note on non-regionalized services:

As Google Apps Script transitions to a regionalized data residency model, non-regionalized Apps Script services will be disabled starting in September 2026 for organizations that turn on the Drive and Docs disablement toggle in data regions advanced settings in the Admin console. Learn more about disabling non-regionalized services.


Enabling Data regions support for Apps Script (Under Drive & Docs)

Getting started

  • Admins: Apps Script automatically adheres to your existing organizational data location policies configured in the Admin console under Menu > Data > Compliance > Data Regions.
  • End users: There is no end user setting for this feature. Script project creation and executions will automatically follow the data region policy assigned to the user by their administrator. For custom cloud logging and external services, developers can review recommendations in the Apps Script Cloud Projects guide.
