In Alert Center, we are expanding the existing “Super Admin password reset” alert into a broader Admin password reset alert. Previously, this rule only triggered alerts when a super admin’s password was changed. With this update, the alert will now cover password resets for all administrator roles within your organization.

This update provides admins with better visibility and control over the security of their organization's privileged accounts. Monitoring password changes for all admin roles provide a higher level of oversight to respond more quickly to potential account compromises or unauthorized changes.

This change aligns with security best practices by treating all administrative access with increased vigilance.

Getting started

  • Admins: This feature will be ON by default and automatically replaces the previous "Super Admin password reset" rule. No action is required to enable the new alert. If you had modified the recipient list for the previous rule, those settings will automatically carry over to the new rule.
  • End users: There is no end user setting or impact for this feature.

We’re excited to introduce a new Gemini in Sheets capability that enables you to diagnose and fix formula errors in one click. When you encounter a formula error, Gemini can analyze the surrounding data structure to help provide an easy-to-understand explanation of the core issue alongside a corrected version of the formula. The functionality seamlessly supports everything from basic arithmetic to highly intricate calculations, simplifying what is traditionally a frustrating and time-consuming debugging process.

Since Gemini is built directly in Sheets, it removes the barrier to writing complex formulas for advanced analysis right where you work. This ensures that both novice users and seasoned data analysts can maintain momentum without having to manually parse error messages or search external forums for solutions.

New discoverable space setting in Google Chat

Previously, spaces were either private (invite-only) or open (anyone in the organization can find and join). Discoverable spaces provide a new option between the two: they appear when users browse for spaces within their organization, but the conversation history and messages remain private until an owner or manager approves a user's request to join. | Learn more.

Earlier this year, we introduced new Gemini in Sheets capabilities that allow you to build and edit entire spreadsheets using simple natural language. We’re now expanding support for these features to 28 additional languages, enabling users who speak Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Italian, French, German, Chinese Simplified, Dutch, Hebrew, Polish, Turkish, Czech, Indonesian, Malay, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Arabic, Finnish, Vietnamese, Ukrainian, Greek, Thai, Romanian, Russian, Catalan, and Hungarian to collaborate natively with Gemini in their preferred language.

With this update, users can leverage the full functionality of Gemini to build and edit spreadsheets by issuing prompts in their native language. Whether users are updating budgets, building complex financial models, or conducting data analysis, Gemini leverages Sheets tools—such as tables, pivot tables, charts, and formulas—to execute tasks. This enables global teams to manage data more efficiently, automate workflow execution, and extract valuable cross-document insights without confronting language barriers.
