To help protect your privacy and ensure intentional communication, we are introducing a new caution notification in Gmail. This feature is designed to prevent accidental information disclosure by alerting users when they are about to "Reply All" to a thread where they were originally BCC’ed.

Previously, users might inadvertently reveal their presence on a confidential thread by hitting "Reply All" while BCC'ed. With this update, Gmail will now display a prominent warning prompt to confirm your intent before the message is sent to all recipients, ensuring that your participation remains private unless you choose otherwise.

Getting started

• Admins: This feature is available by default.
• End users: This feature is available by default and will trigger automatically when a BCC'ed recipient attempts to "Reply All" on a thread.

Rollout pace

• Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains: Available now

Availability

• Available to all Google Workspace customers, Workspace Individual subscribers, and users with personal Google accounts.

Help me create in Google Forms now supports generating quizzes.

With this launch, you can quickly create a quiz by writing a specific prompt for Help me create describing the quiz you want to create. Your prompt can reference Google Drive files like Docs, Slides or PDFs to use as sources for the quiz, should you choose.

Gemini then generates a quiz incorporating details from any files you reference, with appropriate quiz settings, including correct answers for each question. Gemini supports different question types like multiple choice, grid, checkboxes, and grid question types.

You can preview the quiz after it's generated, and adjust the content of the generated quiz after inserting it, as needed.

Getting started

• Admins: To access Gemini in the side panel of Workspace apps, users need to have smart features and personalization turned on. Admins can turn on default personalization setting for their users in the Admin console. Visit the Help Center to learn more.
• End users: Visit the Help Center to learn more about creating a form or quiz with Gemini in Google Form.

Google Sheets now supports creating and editing scatter charts with multiple independent x-series. This update allows users to map separate data series to their own unique x-axis, rather than forcing all series in a single chart to share the same horizontal axis domain.

Additionally, this feature improves import and export compatibility with Microsoft Excel. Previously, importing Excel files with multiple x-series scatter charts into Google Sheets would drop the extra axes and revert to a single x-axis. Now, these configurations are accurately preserved when moving spreadsheets between platforms.

To provide users with more control over their viewing experience, we’re updating information density options for the calendar grid. These updates allow users to customize how calendar events scale on their screens to accommodate various monitor sizes and personal preferences.

The available information density options now include:

• Responsive to your screen: Your calendar dynamically scales and enlarges events to fill larger monitors, which makes events easier to read.
• Comfortable: Your calendar keeps the standard layout with traditional spacing, regardless of your screen size.
• Compact: Your calendar shows a denser view with tighter spacing, which allows you to see more events at once.

You can now create and edit images, diagrams, and infographics directly alongside your text using Gemini in Google Docs. These images leverage the context of your document, so you can generate relevant visuals to accompany your writing without ever leaving Docs or relying on external tools. Plus, you can refine your existing visuals and graphics using simple natural language prompts.

With this new functionality, you can:

• Create rich infographics or diagrams summarizing your docs: Ask Gemini to "Add a diagram providing an overview of the proposal at the top of my doc" or "Create a rich infographic visually summarizing my doc."
• Refine existing visuals: Use natural language to "Change the aspect ratio to 16:9" or "Make the style more aesthetic to match the rest of the document."
• Create or edit multiple visuals at once: Ask Gemini to add infographics in each key section, or update the style of multiple visuals at once.

You can access these capabilities from the bottom bar or the Gemini side panel in Google Docs.

Note: This feature is currently supported on the web only.
