Visual screenshots in Google Meet meeting notes will soon be generally available, pre-configure admin settings in advance

In the coming weeks, we’re starting the rollout of visual screenshots for the ‘Take notes for me’ feature in Google Meet. Visual screenshots automatically capture presented content (such as slides, diagrams, and charts) directly into the generated meeting notes document, ensuring critical visual context is preserved alongside spoken summaries and transcripts. | Learn more.

Streamline collaboration in Google Docs with Gemini-powered comment workflows

We’re introducing Gemini-powered comment workflows in Google Docs to help you quickly understand and respond to collaborator feedback. These new features enable Gemini to read, summarize, and act on comments throughout your document, saving you time and streamlining collaboration. | Learn more.

Generate and edit visuals with Gemini in Google Docs

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. | Learn more.

Updated options to better view Google Calendar on large monitors

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. | Learn more.

Create and import scatter charts with multiple x-series in Google Sheets

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. | Learn more.

Use Gemini in Google Forms to quickly create a new quiz

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. | Learn more.

Prevent accidental disclosures with new Reply All BCC warnings in Gmail

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. | Learn more.

The announcements above were published on the Workspace Updates blog over the last week. Please refer to the original blog posts for complete details.

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

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.

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.
