Google Workspace Updates Weekly Recap – October 11, 2024

por | Out 12, 2024 | Noticias

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.

Create an email for a Google Chat space from the Admin console  
Earlier this year, we introduced a new feature that enables users to send emails to spaces in Google Chat. When this launched, existing Google Group policies determined by the domain admin were respected. For example, if the admin restricted group creation in their organization, users would also be restricted from generating emails for spaces in Chat. To improve upon this experience, we’re happy to announce that admins can now create an email for a space from the Admin console. To do so, navigate to Google Chat > ‘Manage spaces’ > select a space > ‘Space settings’ > click ‘Generate email’ to create an email address for the space. In addition, email conversations sent to spaces will now show replies in a thread instead of as separate cards in the message stream. | The Admin console update is rolling out now to Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains. Threading for emails in spaces will rollout to Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains starting on October 17, 2024. | Available to all Google Workspace customers. | Visit the Help Center to learn more about sending emails to spaces in Chat.

Available in open beta: configure third-party apps by select API scopes

por | Ago 5, 2024 | Noticias

What’s changing 

When your users sign in to third-party apps using the “Sign in with Google” option (single sign-on) or use OAuth to share their data with those apps, you can control what access those apps have to your organization’s Google data using app access controls. 
Admins currently can configure the third-party apps as “Trusted”, giving them access to all OAuth scopes or as “Limited”, giving them access to scopes only from Google services which are not restricted. Beginning today, we’re giving admins another layer of granular control for third-party apps. Specifically, you can now configure apps to be limited by selected OAuth 2.0 Scopes for Google APIs, such as Drive or Gmail scopes. This helps ensure that these apps do not gain additional access without admin consent based on new API scopes that they might request in the future, keeping data access limited to only what is deemed absolutely necessary by admins.

Getting started

Admins: To manage app access, in the Admin console navigate to Security > API Controls > App Access Controls. Visit the Help Center to learn more about controlling which third-party & internal apps access Google Workspace data.

Availability

Available to all Google Workspace customers, as well as Cloud Identity Free and Premium customers

Resources

Third-party smart chip resource creation now available in Google Docs

por | Ago 22, 2024 | Noticias

What’s changing 

Last year, we introduced the ability to pull rich data from apps directly into Google Docs with third-party smart chips. Today, we’re taking this a step further by enabling third-party partners, such as Lucidspark, Lucidchart, and Zoho Projects, to create smart chips or resources like tasks or flowcharts that end users can add and edit in their Google Docs. 
To access third-party smart chips, an admin or user must first install a partner’s add-on from the Google Workspace Marketplace and then users can search for items to create using the @ menu in Docs. After the item is selected, a creation form will appear that includes text input fields relevant to the type of resource being generated. Once the third-party smart chip is inserted, users can hover over it and view a preview of the content.

Who’s impacted 

Admins, end users and developers (partners) 

Why you’d use it 

This feature expands upon your ability to add, view and engage with critical information from third party apps by letting you create third-party resource content. 

Additional details 

Other third-party partners, such as Jira & Confluence, plan to add resource creation to their existing third-party smart chip add-ons in the Google Workspace Marketplace later this year. 

Getting started 

Admins: You can only create and use a third-party smart chip if a developer has enabled it for that application. You will also need to install or allowlist the specific add-on for that application to ensure end users have access. Visit the Help Center to learn how to install Marketplace apps in your domain and manage Google Workspace Marketplace apps. Developers: Visit the Help Center to learn more about creating third-party resources from the @ menu. End users: Go to the Lucidspark, Lucidchart, and Zoho Projects Marketplace listings to install these features. Visit the Help Center to learn more about inserting third-party smart chips from other applications. 

Rollout pace

The Lucidspark, Lucidchart, and Zoho Projects features are available now in the Google Workspace Marketplace

New host controls for add-ons in Google Meet

por | Ago 23, 2024 | Noticias

What’s changing 

We’re giving meeting hosts and co-hosts the ability to control the use of add-ons during meetings* with a new setting. We hope this new setting helps keep meetings on task and productive by allowing hosts to control access to add-ons as they deem appropriate. Note that this setting does not impact single participant add-on experiences. 
The setting will be ON by default, which means all meeting participants can start an add-on activity.
To configure this setting, from the bottom right of your screen select Host Controls (lock icon) > Meeting Activities > Let contributors share add-on activities

When the setting is turned OFF, only the hosts can start an add-ons and ask meeting participants to join the add-on activity. If other participants try starting a collaboration with an add-on, they will get an error. 

*Soon you’ll be able to configure this setting from the Calendar event — we’ll share more information here on the Workspace Updates blog when that becomes available.

Getting started

Admins: There is no admin impact or action required.End users: This feature will be ON by default. It can only be configured from laptop and desktop devices, however it will apply to all meeting participants, including those using mobile devices. Your setting configuration will apply to all future instances of recurring meetings.Visit the Help Center to learn more about using add-ons with Google Meet.

Send emails about your files to collaborators using the sharing dialog in Workspace apps
Once a file is shared, you have the option to “notify” someone when they’ve been added to view, comment on, or edit a file. We’re building upon this by introducing the ability to send an email to any collaborator if you are a file owner or editor. This is especially useful if you’ve recently made updates to the content or if you’d like to pose a question to the group. To email collaborators, click “Share” > click on the “Email people on this file” icon next to “People with access” > select the email recipients and add a custom message. | Rolling out to Rapid Release domains now; launch to Scheduled Release domains planned for August 26, 2024. | Available to Google Workspace customers, Google Workspace Individual subscribers, and users with personal Google accounts. | Visit the Help Center to learn more about sharing files from Google Drive.
