This official feed from the Google Workspace team provides essential information about new features and improvements for Google Workspace customers.


In March, we announced a beta for AI Overviews in Drive. This feature is now generally available and has started rolling out to eligible Google Workspace and Google AI plans.

Instead of searching through endless files and opening dozens of tabs to find the information you need, you can now get instant answers right at the top of your search results. Gemini does the heavy lifting for you, scanning your documents to provide clear, reliable summaries.

Here is how it helps you work smarter:

  • See the big picture: Get a quick summary of information pulled from multiple files without needing to open each one.
  • Ask naturally: There’s no need to use complicated search tricks. Just ask a question as you would to a colleague, like "What’s in our Spring 2026 catalog?"
  • Get the right answer: Gemini automatically understands what you’re looking for, whether it’s a quick fact, a project summary, or a list of specific documents, and adjusts its response to match.
  • Dig deeper with ease: If you need more information, you can go from a quick summary to a deeper conversation with Gemini in just one click.

In March, we announced a beta for Ask Gemini in Drive. This feature is now generally available and has started rolling out to eligible Google Workspace and Google AI plans.

Google Drive isn’t just a place to store your work, it’s now the place to understand it. We’ve reimagined the experience with Gemini now offering a dedicated, immersive workspace designed for deep focus. You can now engage in high-context, multi-turn conversations to efficiently explore and understand content across Drive, Workspace apps, and the web.

Whether you are synthesizing years of client proposals or uncovering hidden customer trends, Ask Gemini in Drive provides a holistic view of your entire body of work.

Key features include:

  • Dedicated conversations: Engage in focused discussions about specific sets of files and folders. By grounding your questions in the relevant content, you get more precise, actionable answers.
  • Drive projects: Organize your work more effectively with Drive projects. This new feature in Drive allows you to curate related files and folders into a central, always up-to-date, and shared knowledge base, making it easier to manage complex workflows and keep your team aligned.
  • Persistent conversation history: Easily pick up where you left off. Your past chats are saved, allowing you to quickly revisit previous insights about specific folders or projects without starting over.
  • Secure and compliant: Ask Gemini in Drive and projects are built directly into the Drive architecture, it never copies or replicates your files. It honors your existing data protection and security controls, including access permissions, DLP policies, and IRM, ensuring Gemini only accesses content you are authorized to see.

Find and understand information across your Drive files, Workspace apps, and the entire internet

With this launch, we’re also expanding language support. Ask Gemini in Drive will roll out to all 29 languages currently supported in the Gemini side panel over the coming weeks (see the Rollout pace section below for more details).

We’re committed to continuously improving Sheets to ensure it is a powerful, responsive, and scalable spreadsheet tool for your needs. To that end, we’re announcing significant performance improvements across the entire Sheets experience, especially for larger data sets, making it faster than ever to import, analyze, and manage your data.

Some of the key Sheets journeys we’ve optimized to help you work with larger datasets more efficiently include:

  • Get started faster: You can now open and start working in large spreadsheets (1M+ cells) up to 30% faster. 
  • Rapid data analysis: You can now filter large spreadsheets (1M+ cells) up to 60% faster.
  • Easier formatting: You can now apply conditional formatting to large spreadsheets (1M+ cells) up to 60% faster.
These enhancements are part of our broader effort to ensure a smooth experience even as your spreadsheets grow in complexity.

Beta now available: Sheets capacity doubled to 20 million cells

Alongside faster analysis, we’re opening a new beta program to give users early access to doubled cell limits in Google Sheets—from 10 million cells to 20 million cells. This limit applies to new, existing, and imported files. Fill out the form to register your organization for the beta program and double Sheets limits.

We're introducing Fill with Gemini in Google Sheets, a new AI-powered feature designed to make data preparation and manual entry even easier. Fill with Gemini infers your intent, allowing you to populate data 9x faster than manual entry for 100-cell tasks.*

Whether you need to extract information from the web or categorize existing data, Fill with Gemini handles the heavy lifting, eliminating the need for complex formulas. For example, a marketing team can use it to automatically generate suggested responses based on customer feedback messages, or a small business owner could use it to quickly fill out product details just by describing what they need.

Fill with Gemini offers two ways to enrich your data, saving you time and effort:

  • Drag-and-drop: If your column has at least one completed cell, you can use a new drag entry point to fill the column based on the context of the table.
  • Prompt-based filling: For empty multi-cell selections, you can use a one-click entry point to "Fill" the range. You can either automatically fill cells when a column has at least one completed cell or write a custom prompt to fit your specific needs.


*Data based on a 95-participant study comparing manual entry against Fill with Gemini on a 100-cell task.

We're excited to introduce a new AI-powered feature in Google Sheets that allows you to transform unstructured text into organized tables.

Manually formatting and organizing unformatted data in spreadsheets can be a tedious, time-consuming task. Now, when you paste content like bulleted lists, freeform text, or JSON we surface a “Convert to table” button which leverages Gemini to turn your pasted content into a table with just a single click. This helps to streamline data entry so you can move to analysis faster.
