New streamlined experience for managing users and domains in the Admin console
What’s changing
Earlier this year, we announced an updated design for the Admin console home page, aimed to make it quicker to navigate around the Admin console, easier to find items you need to manage, and simpler to understand how Google Workspace is deployed within your organization.
Today, we’re introducing several new improvements making it easier for admins to perform common actions when managing users and domains within their organization, including improvements to the workflows around:
- Adding users and user profile pictures
- Updating, renaming, and deleting users
- Domain management and changing primary domains
See below for more information.

We hope these improvements provide actionable context and guidance, making it easier for admins to manage users and domains within their organization.
