Google Workspace administrators can now access comprehensive audit logs for Gemini Notebook in the Admin console, providing greater insights into how the application is used across their organizations. This update introduces full visibility into Gemini Notebook actions, allowing administrators to review usage and audit data access in the security investigation tool and audit and investigation tool.

Additional details

Administrators can track a wide range of user actions across multiple categories, including notebook visibility, user identity, IP address, and resource context. These audit logs can be exported and reviewed using BigQuery or accessed directly within the Admin console using the security investigation tool. These monitoring capabilities help administrators meet regulatory compliance requirements, understand collaboration patterns, and protect company data within their digital environments.

Note: While audit log storage itself follows standard Workspace regional routing policies, Gemini Notebook user data—such as notebooks, sources, and chat histories—is stored globally and does not currently support data regionalization.

Getting started

• Admins: Gemini Notebook audit logs will be available by default in the Workspace Admin console, but exporting audit logs to BigQuery will be disabled until turned on. Visit the Help Center to learn more about Gemini Notebook log events, schema in BigQuery and setting up service log exports to BigQuery.
• End users: There is no end user setting for this feature.

Rollout pace

• Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains: Gradual rollout (up to 15 days for feature visibility) started on September 3, 2026

Availability

• Available to all Google Workspace customers that have access to the security investigation tool and audit and investigation tool
