Warum das wichtig ist

Every Google Workspace customer has unique users with unique needs – Chrome extensions can help improve their workflows and increase productivity. However, navigating the numerous available extensions can present challenges for both admins and end users. For admins, it is often a manual and time consuming process to vet which Chrome extensions they want to allow for their users. For end users, it can be frustrating to sift through a vast catalog of extensions to find relevant and admin-approved extensions.

This update significantly improves the Chrome Web Store experience for enterprises. Admins can customize, organize, and control the Chrome Web Store experience for their users. For end users, finding work-relevant and admin approved extensions becomes significantly easier cutting down on guesswork or wasted time searching for extensions that might be blocked.
