1 New update
Unless otherwise indicated, the features below are available to all Google Workspace customers, and are fully launched or in the process of rolling out. Rollouts should take no more than 15 business days to complete if launching to both Rapid and Scheduled Release at the same time. If not, each stage of rollout should take no more than 15 business days to complete.
Simplified troubleshooting of user issues in the Admin console
When viewing a user’s detail page in the Admin console, you’ll notice new “Investigate”, “Security”, and “Groups” tabs. Within these tabs, you can find all user-related information from security alerts to audit logs, group memberships, and security policies applied to the user. You can click out to the relevant sections of the Admin console where you can find more information on the event and take action if needed. Centralizing this information should reduce the time and effort required by admins to assess and take action on user issues. | This is available now to Business Starter, Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Essentials, Enterprise Essentials Plus, Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Plus, Education Fundamentals, Education Standard, Education Plus, the Teaching and Learning Upgrade and Frontline customers. | Learn more about
investigating user problems with log events.
Previous announcements
The announcements below were published on the Workspace Updates blog earlier this week. Please refer to the original blog posts for complete details.
Assign the audit and investigation privilege on a per-application basis
When delegating admin privileges for the Audit and Investigation Tool, you can now restrict access levels to audit data on a per application basis (eg: Admin, Drive logs etc.). This change ensures that access isn’t too broadly provisioned and delegated admins only have access to the apps relevant to their scope. | Learn more about

What’s changing
Since September 2023, Workspace users have enjoyed the convenience of launching FigJam,
Figma’s free online whiteboard, directly in Google Meet. We’re excited to announce that you can now launch FigJam both in and out of an active Meet call from the Series One
Board 65 and
Desk 27 devices.
Who’s impacted
Admins and end users
Why you’d use it
Prior to this update, these rich collaborative tools were only available within a Meet call — now you can launch them from Board 65 and Desk 27 devices outside of a call for on-demand collaboration and problem solving. Existing Jamboard customers can find more resources related to the
FigJam and Google Meet integration here.
Additional details
Migrating your Jamboard files to Figma
Figma’s integration allows users to easily migrate their existing Jamboards to FigJam files through the
FigJam importer.

What’s changing
To protect our customers from malicious actors taking sensitive admin actions, we’re launching multi-party approvals where one admin must approve certain sensitive actions initiated by another. Multi-party approvals will be required for the following settings:
2-Step verificationAccount recoveryAdvanced Protection Google session controlLogin Challenges
Passwordless (beta)
This feature is available for eligible Workspace customers with multiple super admin accounts — see the “Getting started” section below for more information.
Who’s impacted
Admins
Why it’s important
Multi-party approvals adds an extra layer of security for sensitive actions taken in the Admin console by ensuring no sensitive action happens in a silo and, most importantly, helps prevent unauthorized or accidental changes from being made. This added layer of approval helps ensure actions are being taken appropriately and not too broadly or too often. Additionally, this is more convenient for admins because the action is executed automatically after approval and the requester doesn’t need to take additional action. Multi-party approvals makes super admins aware of what changes are being attempted and gives them the opportunity to accept or reject these sensitive actions.
Outlined below is an example of the feature in action, in this case there is an attempt to make a change to 2-step verification policies:
When 2-step verification changes are attempted, admins will be required to submit the change to a super admin for approval.
Super admins can review and take action on these requests in the Admin console by navigating to Security > Multi-party approval. Super admins will also receive email alerts when a 2-step verification change is requested or any other protected action is attempted.
Admins can open a specific approval request to view more information including who is impacted by the change, what the configuration was before the change and what it will be after the change.
Getting started
Admins: This feature is available for eligible Workspace customers with two or more super admin accounts. Multi-party approvals are OFF by default and can be turned on in the Admin console by going to Security > Multi-party approval settings. Visit the Help Center to learn more about
multi-party approvals for sensitive actions.

What’s changing
We’re introducing a new setting in the Admin console which will give Gemini customers the ability to test Gemini for Google Workspace alpha features before they become generally available. Specifically, admins will be able to turn on alpha features for all Gemini provisioned Workspace users or for a subset of Gemini users in a particular Organizational Unit (OU) or Group.
To configure Gemini access features, go to Account settings > Gemini for Google Workspace
Who’s impacted
Admins and end users
Why it matters
As our Gemini for Workspace offerings continue to evolve, you may consider allowing your users to test Gemini features in alpha. This will give your users a head start on leveraging our latest AI features and provide Google with helpful feedback to improve Gemini features before they’re generally available. Alpha features get the same robust
data protection standards that come with all Google Workspace services.
Please consider the following before configuring alpha access for your users:
Your users will receive all Gemini for Workspace alpha features — it is not possible to enable a subset of features or opt-out of specific features. Features will appear in alpha as soon as they are available — there is no advanced notice of these features appearing for Gemini for Workspace alpha provisioned users.As these features are not yet generally available, we will not offer full support for these features. Alpha features get the same
robust data protection standards that come with all Google Workspace services.You can also help us improve Gemini for Workspace by
allowing users at your organization to provide feedback via research studies and surveys.
Additionally, we strongly recommend that you and your users
sign up for the Google Workspace alpha community page. Subscribing to this page will help users stay on top of the latest Gemini for Workspace alpha features. You can also ask questions about the features on this page.
