      What’s changing

      Building upon the recent announcement of NotebookLM and NotebookLM Plus becoming available as a Google Workspace core service with enterprise-grade data protection, we’re excited to introduce the ability for admins to specify Context-Aware Access (CAA) policies when their users access NotebookLM and NotebookLM Plus. 

      Context Aware Access support for NotebookLM

      Who’s impacted 

      Admins and end users 


      Why it’s important

      Using Context-Aware Access, admins can set up different access levels for NotebookLM and NotebookLM Plus based on a user’s identity and the context of the request (location, device security status, IP address). This can help provide granular access controls without the need for a VPN, and give users access to Google Workspace resources based on organizational policies. 


      Getting started 


      Rollout pace 


      Availability 

      Context-Aware Access is available for Google Workspace: 
      • Enterprise Standard and Plus 
      • Education Standard and Plus 
      • Enterprise Essentials Plus 
      • Frontline Standard 
      • Cloud Identity Premium

      Available in beta: Convert your client-side encrypted documents after a Vault or Takeout export

      What’s changing 

      After a Vault or Data export (takeout), admins can now convert their exported client-side encrypted documents to Word files. This allows organizations to maintain ownership over, access to, and analysis of sensitive data in a portable format even after it has been exported from Google Workspace. 


      Eligible Google Workspace admins can use this form to request access to the beta. We’ll share more specific instructions once you’re accepted into the beta.

      Upcoming changes to how retention policies are applied to 1:1 direct messages in Google Chat

      What’s happening 

      Many Google Workspace organizations rely on Google Chat to facilitate communication and collaboration, including with users in the same domain, users in other Workspace Domains, and users with personal Google accounts. Currently, each organization in an external 1:1 direct message conversation can set their own retention policy, which impacts what messages end users see in the product user interface and what admins see in Google Vault.


      To provide a more consistent product experience across conversation types, we are changing how retention policies are applied to 1:1 direct messages with external participants.


      Following this change, 1:1 direct messages with external participants will respect the retention policy of the user who created the conversation. If a user in your organization did not create the conversation, they may see more or fewer messages in the Chat user interface after this change since the creator’s policy will be respected. You can see who created the conversation by scrolling to the top of the conversation, or hovering over the external badge. 


      This change does not impact an admin’s ability to apply a retention policy or ability to access 1:1 direct messages in Google Vault or Data Export for users with a Google Vault policy applied. 


      If you do not have Vault, or do not have a Vault policy applied, changes in access to conversations will apply to the product user interface and Data Export.


      Additionally, today, in the case that two users within the same organization have conflicting retention or auto-deletion policies, we respect those policies separately for each user. Once the migration happens, we will respect the longer of the two retention policies and the shorter of the two auto-deletion policies for both users in the conversation. If one user has a custom retention rule while the other has only a default retention rule, the custom rule will take precedence over a default rule.


      Starting May 1, 2025:
      • All new external 1:1 direct messages will respect the retention policy of the creator. 
        • For users with a Vault policy applied, the creator’s policy will only impact messages in the Chat product user interface. 

      Starting June 2, 2025:
      • Existing 1:1 direct messages will migrate to respect the retention policy of the creator. 
        • For users with a Vault policy applied, the creator’s policy will only impact messages in the Chat product user interface. 

      By August 1, 2025:
      • We anticipate the migration will be complete.

      Until February 1, 2026:
      • We will preserve impacted 1:1 direct messages in Google Vault or Data Export for 6 months past the end of the migration to allow organizations to download a copy of the data.

      Why it matters

      It’s important to note that if your organization has a Google Vault policy applied to your users, you will not lose access to any conversations—even if they no longer appear in the Chat product user interface. If your organization does not have Vault or does not have a Vault policy applied, some conversations that were previously available may no longer be available in Data Export or Vault.

      In September 2024, we communicated that we now require admins who have Additional Services enabled for users under the age of 18 to re-review them on an annual basis. Admins are always in control of which services their users have access to, and this gives admins an opportunity to ensure the right users have access to the right services. | Learn more about consent re-confirmation for under 18 users accessing Additional Services.

        Consent re-confirmation for under 18 users accessing Additional Services will soon be required

        What’s changing

        When a Google Workspace for Education admin chooses to enable Additional Services for students under the age of 18 to use, they acknowledge that they may be required to collect parental or guardian consent. This includes access to services like YouTube, Google Translate, Google Photos, Google Books, Google Earth and more.

        In September 2024, we communicated that we now require admins who have Additional Services enabled for users under the age of 18 to re-review them on an annual basis. Admins are always in control of which services their users have access to, and this gives admins an opportunity to ensure the right users have access to the right services.

        • If admins do not want to provide access to Additional Services for their under 18 users, they can turn them off for those users. 
        • If admins want to keep Additional services enabled for under 18 users, they need to reconfirm parental consent in the admin console.  
        • If admins do not take action, under 18 users who previously had access to Additional Services will lose access in the coming weeks. Admins can re-enable access to Additional Services at any time. 

        How admins can take action
        Admins were first provided notice of this re-confirmation requirement in September 2024, which indicated a 6 months notice to complete the re-review process before the March 2025 rollout. The banner in the admin console has turned red to alert admins that action is required. While the rollout begins in March, it might take several weeks before some users in your organization are impacted.

        You can easily view which applications require consent reconfirmation from Admin console > Apps > Additional Google services. You can re-confirm consent by checking the box next to the app, hovering over the app, or using the three-dot overflow menu. 

        Experience for impacted end users
        If users lose access to a specific service they’ll be notified “Your Google Workspace for Education account is designated as under 18 and your organization’s admin has not granted you access to this Additional Service. To regain access, inform your admin that you need this service to be enabled.“ 



        Who’s impacted

        Admins and end users under the age of 18


        Why it’s important

        Admins are in control of which services their users have access to, and to do so in alignment with both our terms of service and local laws and regulations that determine what services are appropriate for users under 18. Since admins manage which services their students have access to, only they can enable or disable access for their under 18 users. 


        This is a guide to support admins with collecting consent from parents, which includes this template for communicating with parents and guardians around collecting consent. 

        Additional details

        The requirement to review and re-confirm access to Additional Products is an annual requirement customers must complete for their under 18 users, subject to their Google Workspace for Education Terms of Service.

        Introducing AppSheet User Pass

        What’s changing

        Starting today, you can license any user of your apps with AppSheet User Pass. Each User Pass grants unlimited access to an AppSheet app for the month and your users can consume as many User Pass licenses as they need. This gives you the flexibility to pay for the features that will make a difference for your users, whether they are internal or external to your organization, signed-in or unauthenticated.

        Additional details

        How is an AppSheet User Pass is different from traditional Google Workspace licenses?:

        1. User Pass licenses are available to your app users as a pool, rather than assigned to individual users through the Google Admin console. Licenses are automatically consumed each time an eligible user accesses one of your AppSheet Enterprise Plus or AppSheet Core apps. Eligible users include those that do not already have an AppSheet license or have a license of a lower tier than the app owner, including internal, external, or unauthenticated users.

        2. Users consume a license for each app they use - allowing you to license your app users at a discounted rate. User Pass will not independently grant these users the ability to build apps with Core or Enterprise features, but it is possible for an eligible user to consume more than one User Pass license if they access multiple unique apps in a month. For example:


        Please also note that:
        • The pool of User Pass licenses resets at the end of the calendar month and unused licenses do not rollover. You will only be charged for the user pass licenses that you have committed to purchase.
        • AppSheet User Pass will be available through Workspace and the Partner Sales Console. 
        • We recently alerted customers that starting April 10, 2025, the AppSheet Enterprise Standard External User and AppSheet Enterprise Plus External User licenses will no longer be available for purchase. Customers with existing external user licenses will not see any interruption in service during this transition and will receive additional notice with next steps.

        Embed AppSheet apps directly in Google Sites

        What's changing

        We're excited to announce that you can now embed authenticated AppSheet applications as iframes directly within Google Sites pages. While previously only public apps could be added to Sites, now, apps that require sign-in can be embedded so that users can securely interact with the app directly on a Google Sites page. 

        Key Benefits

        • Streamlined user experience: Eliminate the need for users to navigate between multiple tabs. Users can now interact with authenticated AppSheet apps directly within Google Sites pages, boosting productivity and efficiency.
        • Centralized workflows: Build powerful, interactive business applications like intranet portals and wikis by embedding key tools and information directly into Google Sites.
        • Controlled by policy: Leverage AppSheet’s existing in-app authentication and policy rules, ensuring consistent and secure access to your applications. Creators have control to disable embedding functionality in their apps.

        Embed AppSheet Apps in Google Sites





        Overall, support for iframe embeds of authenticated apps in Sites enables secure, seamless integration of your enterprise-grade AppSheet applications and empowers you to create more robust and user-friendly Google Sites. 


        Additional details

        • Embedding authenticated (e.g. "sign-in required” or “restricted”) apps is only supported for Google Sites pages. “Public apps” continue to be embeddable in any website.
        • Use a Chromium-based browser with third-party cookies enabled. Incognito mode and blocking cookies will prevent apps from functioning properly.
        • We recommend ensuring the embedded AppSheet app (iframe) is fully visible. Partial visibility or excessive zoom may cause interaction issues.
