Para empezar

Admins: To access Gemini in the side panel of Workspace apps, users need to have smart features and personalization turned on. Admins can activar la configuración de personalización por defecto para sus usuarios en la consola de administración.
Usuarios finales:

To access this feature, double-click on a PDF from the Google Drive file list and click on “Ask Gemini” (star button) in the top right corner.
Note: When Gemini initially launched in Workspace, PDFs viewed in Drive opened in a new browser tab to allow interaction with the Gemini side panel. With this update, the default behavior will open a file in the overlay file previewer. If you prefer for PDFs to open in a new tab by default, you can update your PDF opening default behavior in your Drive settings. If you previously set a preferred PDF opening default behavior in your Drive setting, your default open behavior will remain the same.
