Google Vids is improving the video creation experience with the introduction of point-in-time editing. This feature will help ensure that the canvas matches the video timeline 1:1. Previously, the canvas displayed all elements present across an entire scene all at the same time, regardless of when they appeared during the video. With this update, when a user is editing, they will see exactly what appears in the video at that specific timestamp, eliminating visual clutter from overlapping text boxes, stickers, and images.

This update simplifies the creation process by providing a true "what you see is what you get" editing workflow. Key improvements include:

• Synchronized canvas display: The editing canvas dynamically updates as you scrub or move through the timeline, showing only the active elements at that exact moment.
• Enhanced timeline interaction: Editors can click directly on object tracks within the timeline to move the playhead to that point.
• Simplified scene management: Users no longer need to split scenes into smaller segments simply to manage multiple timed objects, making it easier to build multi-layered content like captions, lower thirds, and media overlays.

Point-in-time editing is the default behavior across all Google Vids sessions and requires no action from administrators. This streamlined experience will help users create polished video content more efficiently without managing overlapping elements.

Trello for Google Workspace makes it easy to capture tasks and ideas from the conversations where they begin. With the app, you can create new Trello cards from emails and Google Chat messages, helping you keep Trello up to date without switching tabs or breaking your flow.

The refreshed app replaces and builds on the Trello for Gmail experience and adds the ability to create new cards from Google Chat. Existing Trello for Gmail users can continue using the app without reinstalling or reauthorizing it. To create cards from Google Chat, add Trello for Google Workspace to a Chat space or direct message and follow the sign-in prompt.

Google Sheets now supports new types of stock charts, making it easier to visualize price movement over time. Stock charts condense several price points for each time period into a single marker, so you can read a security's full trading range at a glance rather than interpreting separate line series. Users can create and customize the following stock chart types:

• High-Low-Close (HLC): plots the highest price, lowest price, and closing price for each period, showing both the trading range and where the period settled
• Open-High-Low-Close (OHLC): adds the opening price, so you can see the full session in one marker and immediately tell whether the period closed up or down

Both types are built for the workflows financial analysts already run in Sheets, from tracking equities and commodities to building valuation models on historical price data.

Sheets stock chart support also comes with enhanced Microsoft Excel import compatibility. Previously, importing Excel files containing stock charts into Sheets would result in these charts being dropped entirely, forcing analysts to rebuild them manually. Now, HLC and OHLC stock charts are accurately preserved when moving files between Excel and Sheets.

We are introducing the ability to view, edit, and collaborate on Markdown (.md or .markdown) files directly in Google Docs, as well as view rendered previews in Google Drive.

Markdown is a standard text format widely used by Large Language Models (LLMs) to preserve structured content, like tables, headers, and bulleted lists, without the bulk of heavy file formats. Previously, you needed to import and convert Markdown files into a Doc format, which often altered formatting, stripped comments, and fragmented files.

Now that users can handle markdown files natively in Google Docs, they can open, edit, and collaborate on markdown files without changing the file type. Editing Markdown files in Docs also enables both users and agents to collaborate without forcing anyone to write raw syntax, handle manual file conversions, or give up Docs' real-time editing and commenting tools.

Drive also now supports rendered markdown, so you can view fully formatted, beautiful documents with clickable links and structured tables right in Drive.

As announced earlier this year, we are now rolling out the secondary calendar lifecycle changes for non-personal Workspace accounts: secondary calendars will now follow the lifecycle of their owner, meaning that when a user account is deleted, any secondary calendars owned by that user will be deleted as well. Similarly, when a user is suspended, their owned secondary calendars will be suspended as well. This matches the behavior of primary calendars. To preserve a secondary calendar, ownership must be transferred to a new user before the original owner's account is deleted or suspended.

This update strengthens organizational data governance by ensuring that every secondary calendar is tied to a valid owner that determines organizational settings and policies applying to the data.

Getting started

• Admins: Admins can transfer secondary calendars in the admin console or by using the Calendar API.
• End users: Users can transfer their secondary calendars in Calendar Settings. Visit the Help Center to learn more.

Rollout pace

• Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains: Extended rollout (potentially longer than 15 days for feature visibility) starting on October 5, 2026

Availability

• Available to all Google Workspace customers and Workspace Individual subscribers
