We are making two improvements to the space creation flow in Google Chat: preventing duplicate space names and providing a method to configure spaces for specific use cases.
In order to prevent duplicate space names in Google Chat, you will no longer be able to create a space within your company’s domain if the space name already exists. Similar to the experience in Gmail and Google Groups, if a space name already exists, an error message will appear. The same will happen if a user tries to edit the name of a space to another name that already exists.
This feature will not immediately apply to space names created via Chat API. Starting June 3, 2024, spaces created via Chat API will also be subject to this error.
Starting this week, you will also notice an updated user interface when creating a new space in Chat. In addition to easily determining access settings, you can now designate the space for Collaboration (useful for discussing a topic or team project) or for
Announcements (helpful for facilitating one-way controlled communication such as company-wide updates).
After creating the space, an updated welcome page will appear with contextual options that provide users with next steps depending on the space type selected. For a Collaboration space, users get the options to add members, share files, assign tasks and create a welcome message that appears when a new member joins the space. You will also have the ability to toggle “History on” and will see contextual suggestions for eligible apps (based on popular apps in your domain) to explore in Marketplace and add into the space. For an Announcement space, users will get the option to add groups, manage space permissions and add guidelines on how to use the space.
Getting started
Admins: There is no admin control for this feature. End users: You will receive an error message when editing or
creating a space in Google Chat that has the name of a space that already exists. Existing spaces with the same name will not be impacted. Visit the Help Center to learn more about
the new space creation flow. Developers: Update apps created via Chat API to ensure they do not conflict with this new error code for duplicate space names by June 3, 2024.

Jump to where your collaborator is while editing in Google Sites
When working on content in Google Docs or Slides, you can go to wherever your collaborator is working within the document or presentation by clicking their avatar in the top right corner. This week, we’re excited to announce a similar feature in Google Sites. Now, when a Site editor clicks on a collaborator’s avatar, they will jump to the selected tile of the clicked collaborator. If the collaborator is on a different page, the site editor will be taken to that page. | Rolling out to

What’s changing
You can now collaborate with others on client-side encrypted Google Docs to add, edit, reply, filter, or delete comments. You can also assign action items to yourself or others. This added functionality helps bring parity to unencrypted docs while also ensuring your data is behind encryption keys you control, including the identity provider used to access those keys.
This feature is available as an open beta, which means you can use it without enrolling in a specific beta program. While this feature is available for Google Docs initially, with support coming for Google Sheets and Slides in the future.
Additional details
Note that when sharing encrypted files, you can only assign “viewer” or “editor” permissions — the “comment only” permission is not supported.
Comments are saved each time the document is autosaved. If you restore the document to a previous version, the comments added to the document in that version are also restored.

What’s changing
Last year, we improved the client-side security of Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, Sites, Drawings, Drive, and Calendar with
Trusted Types. This browser-based runtime feature limits the uses of
Document Object Model (DOM) APIs that are used by the apps listed above or third-party extensions. Trusted Types also reduce the possibility of Document Object Model Cross Site Scripting (
DOM XSS), which continues to be one of the most critical threats to web security.
DOM XSS occurs when a cyber attacker injects malicious code into a web page, which can then be executed by the victim’s browser. This can allow the cyber attacker to steal cookies, hijack sessions, and even take control of the victim’s computer.
To defend against this, we’re excited to announce the expansion of Trusted Types to Gmail. This will provide a defense against DOM XSS and further enhances our advanced data protection controls to keep users and data safe across more of the apps they use everyday.
Who’s impacted
Developers (relying on any Chrome extensions that modify DOM APIs.)
Additional details
This new enforcement mode will require third-party extensions to use
typed objects instead of strings when assigning values to DOM APIs. Once Trusted Types are fully enforced, the Trusted Types directive will be present in the Content Security Policy (CSP) header:
Content-Security-Policy: require-trusted-types-for ‘script’;report-uri https://mail.google.com/mail/cspreport
Getting started
Admins: There is no admin control for this feature. Developers: To make code Trusted Types compliant, signal to the browser that data being used within the context of these DOM APIs is trustworthy by creating a Trusted Type special object. There are several ways to be Trusted Types compliant, such as
removing the offending code, using a library (such as
safevalues or
DOMPurify), or
creating a Trusted Types policy. To ensure a seamless experience for users, we recommend employing these techniques before Trusted Types enforcement is rolled out. Failure to make code Trusted Types compliant may cause feature breakages for third-party extensions as their DOM manipulations will be blocked by the browser. End users: There is no end user setting for this feature.
