In addition to Google Drive, we’re expanding data classification labels to now include Gmail. Classification labels are used to classify and audit content according to organizational guidelines (“Sensitive”, “Confidential”, etc.) and apply policies, such as Regeln zum Schutz vor Datenverlust (DLP), to protect sensitive information in email messages. Classification labels will be available when using Gmail on the web – support for Gmail on mobile devices will be introduced in the coming months.
Wer ist davon betroffen?
Admins und Endnutzer
Warum es wichtig ist
Data breaches are increasingly common and costly across all sectors, including enterprises, public sectors, and government institutions. To minimize data exfiltration and better understand the data being shared, organizations need to differentiate between various types of information and their sensitivity levels to apply data protection policies accordingly. By expanding data classification labels to Gmail, Google Workspace provides admins with a more flexible and robust system integrated with data protection capabilities to help organizations effectively categorize and protect sensitive information.
Specifically, admins can create:
- New classification labels or extend existing ones enabled in Drive labels for Gmail from the Label-Manager. Labels can be used to denote department names, document types, document status, and other custom categories.
The Label Manager tool can be accessed in the Admin console by going to Security > Access and data control
- Data protection rules with classification label as a condition, to apply actions to a message based on its classification. For example, a message will be blocked if it’s classified as ‘Internal’ and is being sent to an external recipient.
Notification about delivery failure due to DLP policy, blocking messages labeled as ‘Confidential’ to be sent to recipients outside of the organization
- Data protection rules to automatically apply classification labels to a message, based on its content. For example, a ‘Confidential’ label can be applied to a message if it contains sensitive financial information, such as credit card or bank account numbers.
Data protection rule with ‘Apply a label’ action. Classification label specified in the rule will be applied to a message, if message contains information matching conditions of the rule
- DLP rules with Confidential Mode as a condition to prevent sending messages with sensitive information, if it is not encrypted (Confidential Mode is not enabled)
Data protection rule is set up to detect messages with sensitive information (credit card or passport numbers) and confidential mode disabled in order to enforce sending such info with enhanced protection measures
- Endverbraucher can view and apply Classification Labels when using Gmail on the web.
Users can apply classification labels to a message, according to the organization’s data governance policies
Zusätzliche Details
- When Data loss prevention (DLP) rules for Gmail using classification labels either as a condition or as an action, messages are scanned asynchronously. This means that the message is classified, blocked or quarantined after it leaves the sender’s mailbox) and before being dispatched to the recipient. In a future release, we plan to provide synchronous support with instant notifications consistent with our synchronous support of instant DLP enforcement for Gmail.
- If the message is blocked as a result of the classification label applied to it, the sender will get a bounce back message.
- If the message is automatically labeled by a DLP rule, the sender will not see the label reflected in the sent message. The recipient will see the automatically applied label the same way as any other classification label applied manually by the sender.
- Only Badged options list and Multiple Options list (Single select) field types are supported in Gmail. If classification labels are enabled for usage in both Gmail and Drive, and it contains fields that are not supported in Gmail, such as date or persona, Gmail users will see the label only with fields of the supported types.
Erste Schritte
- Admins:
- Endverbraucher: If configured by your admin, you’ll see the “Classification” option when composing a new messaging or replying to an existing message — when you open the menu, you can select labels relevant to your message. We’ll share the end user Help Center article on Monday, November 3, 2024.

For the last few months, users with the
Gemini for Google Workspace add-ons and Gemini Education add-ons have used Gemini in the
side panel of Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drive to assist them with summarizing, analyzing, and generating content through insights gathered from their emails, documents, and more. Earlier this month, Gemini add-on subscribers began using Gemini in Google Chat for
summaries of unread conversations in the home view.
Today, we’re expanding Gemini in Chat to help users collaborate more effectively in their spaces, group messages and direct messages. With Gemini in the side panel of Chat, you can:
- Summarize a space or conversation. Examples include asking Gemini the following:
- “Summarize this conversation.”
- “What are the key takeaways in this conversation?”
- After an initial summary is generated, you can ask for a longer summary, “Give me a detailed summary of [topic] discussed in this space.”
- Generate a list of action items from that space or conversation, such as:
- “What are the action items in this conversation?”
- “Are there any action items for me in this conversation?”
- “Summarize [person’s] action items in this space”
- Answer specific questions about that space or conversation by asking:
- “What did [person] say about the timeline extension in this space?”
- “What’s the decision on the project discussed in this conversation?”

We’re making it easier to apply context-aware access (CAA) policies with new insights and recommendations. We’ll proactively surface potential security gaps and suggest pre-built CAA levels which admins can deploy to remediate the security gaps. These insights will be surfaced to customers, if they have not deployed any CAA policies to their users. When you deploy a recommendation, it will first be placed in Monitor Mode, so you can understand how the policy will block user access over time, and can be reviewed in the CAA audit logs.
With this release, we’ve also added the ability for admins to customize the recommendations as they see fit before they’re applied broadly. Additionally, we’ll send primary admins an email on a quarterly basis with insights and actionable recommendations.
Wer ist davon betroffen?
Admins
Warum es wichtig ist
Using Context-Aware Access, admins can set up different access levels 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. Insights and recommendations help admins improve the cybersecurity posture of their organization by proactively identifying areas that need attention, significantly reducing the need for admins to identify these risks themselves. For example, if we detect devices with outdated operating system versions accessing corporate Workspace data, we can surface this as an Insight & pair it with a recommendation to block such devices from accessing Workspace data with a few clicks.

We’re excited to introduce document tabs in Google Docs, a new feature to help you organize longer documents, centralize information, and make collaboration easier.
You can now use tabs to draft and build content in a way that makes it possible for you to find what you’re looking for quickly and stay on task. Plus, readers can navigate through your document with ease and focus on sections that matter most to them.
Tabs in Docs can be particularly useful when you need to break down long, structured documents into smaller, more digestible sections. For example:
A marketing manager can build a campaign brief using different, focused tabs for budget, goals, and creative ideas. A sales leader creating pitch templates can now have dedicated tabs for each industry or territory. A customer service representative can create tabs for each solution to address common customer service issues. A project manager can create a tab for budget, roles and responsibilities, goals, and key dates so that their working team can stay on track. A team manager can keep a record of routine documentation, such as recurring meeting notes, agendas, performance reviews, and quarterly planning updates. Within each tab, you can also create subtabs to add even more structure to your document. For instance,
a budget tab could include subtabs for travel expenses and agency fees, or a team makeup tab could include subtabs explaining each team’s roles and responsibilities.

Admins now have the option to configure meeting recordings, meeting transcripts, and “take notes for me”* as on by default for newly created meetings. Meeting hosts and co-hosts can edit these settings in the Calendar invite, as well as turn these artifacts off during the meeting. We hope these settings help ensure artifacts are created for specific meetings or series of meetings, like sales calls or town hall meetings, without relying on manual intervention. When these meeting artifacts are turned on, attendees will be notified when they join the green room and when they join the meeting.
