What’s changing
We’re introducing a new setting in the Admin console which will give Gemini customers the ability to test Gemini for Google Workspace alpha features before they become generally available. Specifically, admins will be able to turn on alpha features for all Gemini provisioned Workspace users or for a subset of Gemini users in a particular Organizational Unit (OU) or Group.
To configure Gemini access features, go to Account settings > Gemini for Google Workspace
Who’s impacted
Admins and end users
Why it matters
As our Gemini for Workspace offerings continue to evolve, you may consider allowing your users to test Gemini features in alpha. This will give your users a head start on leveraging our latest AI features and provide Google with helpful feedback to improve Gemini features before they’re generally available. Alpha features get the same robust
data protection standards that come with all Google Workspace services.
Please consider the following before configuring alpha access for your users:
Your users will receive all Gemini for Workspace alpha features — it is not possible to enable a subset of features or opt-out of specific features. Features will appear in alpha as soon as they are available — there is no advanced notice of these features appearing for Gemini for Workspace alpha provisioned users.As these features are not yet generally available, we will not offer full support for these features. Alpha features get the same
robust data protection standards that come with all Google Workspace services.You can also help us improve Gemini for Workspace by
allowing users at your organization to provide feedback via research studies and surveys.
Additionally, we strongly recommend that you and your users
sign up for the Google Workspace alpha community page. Subscribing to this page will help users stay on top of the latest Gemini for Workspace alpha features. You can also ask questions about the features on this page.

What’s changing
At launch, the AI Security add-on will give customers access to the AI Classification capability in Google Drive. AI Classification allows IT teams to automatically and continuously identify, classify, and label sensitive files across the organization. This capability is powered with privacy-preserving AI models that can be uniquely trained for the specific needs of your organization. Classified files can then be protected with existing data loss prevention (DLP) controls.
Who’s impacted
Admins
Why it matters
Drive Labels enable Workspace Administrators to up-level their security posture by closely monitoring activity on labeled files, and using labels as a vehicle for
data loss prevention and
lifecycle management policies. The challenge with label-based policies is that they are only effective on files that are correctly identified and labeled. Further, labeling files placed a considerable manual burden on Admins.
This is where AI Classification can help. By training models on customer-identified examples of content that match their data classification definitions, AI Classification can evaluate files where text can be extracted to see if it should be labeled. This enables organizations to achieve label coverage at a scale and accuracy that is very difficult to accomplish through traditional means and manual Admin intervention. Once labeled, the organization’s data can be protected by fine-grained security policies.

The AI Security add-on is available for the following Google Workspace Editions:

What’s changing
Back in 2021, we
introduced the “enrollment privilege”, which restricts who in your organization can enroll or re-enroll Google Meet hardware devices. Prior to introducing this privilege, Admins had to put devices in a “deprovisioned” state to prevent end users from re-enrolling devices until they were moved to a “pending” state.
Since the enrollment privilege makes those labels obsolete, we are removing the “deprovisioned” state from the Admin console. You’ll no longer see devices in this state from the device status page (Devices > Google Meet Hardware > Devices), nor will you be able to filter for those labels.
Getting started
Admins: Visit the Help Center to learn more about
enrolling and
re-enrolling Google Meet hardware devices into your organization, as well as
licensing FAQs.To prevent unauthorized users from re-enrolling devices, opt in to Enrollment Privilege Enforcement: Menu > Google Meet hardware > Settings > Service Settings and toggle ‘Require enrollment privilege’ to ON.End users: There is no end user impact or action required.

Address access permissions for Google Drive embeds in Google Sites
When adding embedded content from Google Drive into a Google Site, such as a PDF, document or presentation, site editors will now be prompted to address potential access permissions.
