Trello for Google Workspace makes it easy to capture tasks and ideas from the conversations where they begin. With the app, you can create new Trello cards from emails and Google Chat messages, helping you keep Trello up to date without switching tabs or breaking your flow.

The refreshed app replaces and builds on the Trello for Gmail experience and adds the ability to create new cards from Google Chat. Existing Trello for Gmail users can continue using the app without reinstalling or reauthorizing it. To create cards from Google Chat, add Trello for Google Workspace to a Chat space or direct message and follow the sign-in prompt.

We are introducing the ability to view, edit, and collaborate on Markdown (.md or .markdown) files directly in Google Docs, as well as view rendered previews in Google Drive.

Markdown is a standard text format widely used by Large Language Models (LLMs) to preserve structured content, like tables, headers, and bulleted lists, without the bulk of heavy file formats. Previously, you needed to import and convert Markdown files into a Doc format, which often altered formatting, stripped comments, and fragmented files.

Now that users can handle markdown files natively in Google Docs, they can open, edit, and collaborate on markdown files without changing the file type. Editing Markdown files in Docs also enables both users and agents to collaborate without forcing anyone to write raw syntax, handle manual file conversions, or give up Docs' real-time editing and commenting tools.

Drive also now supports rendered markdown, so you can view fully formatted, beautiful documents with clickable links and structured tables right in Drive.

As announced earlier this year, we are now rolling out the secondary calendar lifecycle changes for non-personal Workspace accounts: secondary calendars will now follow the lifecycle of their owner, meaning that when a user account is deleted, any secondary calendars owned by that user will be deleted as well. Similarly, when a user is suspended, their owned secondary calendars will be suspended as well. This matches the behavior of primary calendars. To preserve a secondary calendar, ownership must be transferred to a new user before the original owner's account is deleted or suspended.

This update strengthens organizational data governance by ensuring that every secondary calendar is tied to a valid owner that determines organizational settings and policies applying to the data.

Getting started

• Admins: Admins can transfer secondary calendars in the admin console or by using the Calendar API.
• End users: Users can transfer their secondary calendars in Calendar Settings. Visit the Help Center to learn more.

Rollout pace

• Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains: Extended rollout (potentially longer than 15 days for feature visibility) starting on October 5, 2026

We are introducing a new option which can make the initial setup of Google Workspace Client-side encryption (CSE) significantly easier and faster for admins.

CSE now supports a simple setup path in the Admin console which can help customers get up and running with CSE in minutes. By combining Cloud HSM Keys with Google Identity, we have automated much of the setup flow which could be time consuming.  In a few clicks, admins can set up and deploy CSE, reducing the time to live and allowing customers to use their existing GCP resources to add CSE protection to your most sensitive data.

Customers use Client-side encryption across Workspace applications to encrypt emails, files, meetings and events, to comply with sovereignty and compliance regulations from HIPAA to ITAR. With Client-side encryption, data is encrypted by customer keys before it ever reaches Google servers, making the customer the sole arbiter of their data. Previously, this privacy control required deep technical knowledge to set up  a third-party key service and configure an identity provider. With simple setup, admins from enterprise to small businesses can start encrypting their important data within minutes.

For admins who require more custom configurations leveraging third-party key services, that option is also still available via the standard CSE setup process.

Getting started

• Admins: Visit the Help Center to learn more about client-side encryption or setting up CSE with the simplified method.
• End users: No end user action needed.

Rollout pace

• Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains: Available now

Availability

• Enterprise: Enterprise Plus with the Assured Controls or Assured Controls Plus add-on

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.

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.

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.

Update (October 6, 2026): Occupancy counting will also become available on Logitech Gen 1 room hardware as part of a CollabOS 2.2 update starting to roll out Oct 6, with rollout expected to complete by October 16.

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.

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.

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.
