Earlier this year we introduced eSignature in Google Docs for select Google Workspace customers. eSignature helps you request, track, and add signatures to official contracts, and more. 

Today, we’re pleased to announce that you can now request electronic signatures on PDF files stored in Google Drive. This capability includes custom fields, such as phone number, job title, company, etc. Expanding eSignature to include PDFs will make it even easier to request and capture signatures all without leaving Workspace.

El año pasado, we ​​introduced a beta that gives Google Forms creators more granular control over who can respond to their forms via sharing settings. 

Previously, form creators had two sharing options: restrict responses to users within their domain (and trusted domains) or hacer públicos los formularios (i.e. anyone with the URL can respond). 

With this new option, now generally available, form creators can limit response access to specific users, groups, or público destinatario-similar a cómo los propietarios de archivos pueden restringir el uso compartido de Google Docs, Sheets, Slides o Sites en Drive. 

Administradores, usuarios finales y desarrolladores 

This feature is useful in any scenario where you’d like to control who can respond to a form. For example, business leaders can better collect feedback from specific organizational units and prevent the form from being responded to by other teams or organization units. Similarly, teachers can use this to ensure a quiz is only accessible to select students who receive the link.

• Admins: There is no admin control for this feature. 
• Usuarios finales: 
• Form creators must publish their form to enable responders to view the form or submit a response. 
• Form creators can see who has access to the form and share response access to specific users, groups, or target audiences. 
• Visite el Centro de ayuda para obtener más información sobre publishing & sharing your form with responders.

• Dominios de liberación rápida: Gradual rollout (up to 15 days for feature visibility) starting on December 3, 2024 
• Dominios de publicación previstos: Full rollout (1–3 days for feature visibility) starting on January 6, 2025 

• Disponible para todos los clientes de Google Workspace y usuarios con cuentas personales de Google. 
• Note: En público destinatario mencionada anteriormente solo está disponible para los servicios Google Drive y Docs y Google Chat. Las ediciones compatibles con esta función en Drive, Docs y Chat son: Business Plus, Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Plus, Education Standard, Education Plus, Enterprise Essentials y Enterprise Essentials Plus. Las ediciones compatibles con esta función sólo en Drive y Docs son: Business Standard, Nonprofits y G Suite Business.

After a Vault or Data export (Takeout), admins can now convert their exported client-side encrypted spreadsheets to Excel files. This allows organizations to maintain access to and analysis of sensitive data in a portable format even after it has been exported from Google Workspace. 

Eligible Google Workspace admins can use this form to request access to the beta. We’ll share more specific instructions once you’re accepted into the beta.

Earlier this year, we launched the ability to configure third-party apps by select API scopes to open beta. Beginning today, this feature is now generally available. 

This update gives admins more granular control. They can limit third-party app access to specific OAuth 2.0 scopes for Google APIs, like Drive o Gmail. This prevents apps from gaining additional access without admin consent, even if they request new API scopes in the future. This helps ensure data access is restricted to only what admins deem necessary.
