If your domain has enabled non-admin user password recovery from the Admin console, then you may have decreased your help desk tickets by giving users an automated way to reset their password. Starting October 25, 2016, we’re extending non-admin user password recovery to include email addresses, an extension to our phone numbers launchfrom last year.
Getting Started

One common request we’ve heard from customers is for an integrated search experience for the content you care about, regardless of what app you’re in. Beginning this week, we’ll be rolling out an integrated search experience in Gmail, Google Calendar, Groups, and Drive on the web for G Suite Basic and G Suite Business customers to make finding the content you care about easier.

This new search experience uses Google’s latest technologies to make searching for content more intelligent than ever. The search results you’ll see will change depending on what you’re trying to accomplish and also which services are enabled for your domain. Typically, search results in the top portion will be the same type as the application you’re using, and below, you’ll see related documents, contacts, calendar events, or emails that are most relevant to what you’re searching for.


Please note: At this time, the integrated search experience will be rolled out only to G Suite Basic and G Suite Business customers (formerly called Google Apps for Work and Google Apps Unlimited).

Many administrators who use admin quarantines have requested email notifications when mail messages are quarantined. Beginning this week, we’ll be rolling out a new setting in the admin quarantine that will let you do just that. These email notifications will make it easier to quickly take action on certain email quarantines which may be more severe than others.

Based on your organization’s needs, you can enable notifications per each quarantine. Once enabled, admins will receive an email notification within an hour of when an email is quarantined. The frequency and timing of the alerts will vary based on how often new quarantined mail arrives, but will never be more than once hourly. We recommend only enabling email notifications for the quarantines that need to be actioned immediately.


New Look and Feel
Also, the admin quarantine is getting a new look and feel to make the quarantine logs easier to read. If you have additional suggestions, please send us feedback about this new look using the “Send feedback” link.
