Beginning today, we’re pleased to announce that all Google Workspace Admins with the
Privilegio del servicio AppSheet can access the AppSheet Admin Console. The AppSheet Admin console is a consolidated location to monitor, manage and govern AppSheet across your organization. Previously, the AppSheet Admin Console was only available to those with an AppSheet Enterprise Plus license in public preview, but now any admin with sufficient privileges has access to monitor and manage their users (note: some features require an enterprise license for the admin and the user).
The AppSheet Admin Console gives admins visibility into the users, apps and licenses associated with their AppSheet users. From here, admins can:
- Review the most popular apps and creators.
- Review how many apps are owned and used for every user account.
- View all of their organization’s app users.
- Verify the AppSheet licenses purchased, assigned and used.
- Export a list of accounts, users, apps and licenses.
Since Public Preview, we’ve added more functionality:
- Historical app usage: Admins can see app usage history for all accounts in their organization up to three months starting today and soon extending to six months.
- Self-serve provisioning: Admins can choose how their enterprise licenses are provisioned – either through license assignment in the Workspace Admin Console or automatically upon login to AppSheet.
- Organizations as the new standard: New and existing Workspace customers can manage all of their secondary domain users under a consolidated AppSheet organization.
The AppSheet Admin Console
A quién afecta
Admins
Por qué es importante
We’ve heard from our customers that in order to effectively manage AppSheet activity in their organizations, they need visibility into its usage. This includes information regarding how many users are using an AppSheet license, who is accessing their teams apps, and more. Expanding access to the AppSheet Admin console provides admins with these critical metrics, enabling them to understand how the tool is being used and govern the use of the tool as needed.
Más información
The Licenses page will remain in public preview pending some supporting launches and additional enhancements expected early in 2025.

Beginning today, admins now have the option to set up a custom OpenID Connect (OIDC) profile for single sign-on (SSO) with Google as their Service Provider. OIDC is a popular method for verifying and authenticating the identities – this update gives admins more options for their end users to access cloud applications using a single set of credentials. Previously, only OIDC with pre-configured Microsoft Entra ID profile was supported in addition to SAML.
Custom OIDC profiles can be configured in the Admin console at >Security > Authentication > SSO with third party IdP

Beginning today, we’re expanding our data migration experience to include the ability for Google Workspace admins to migrate conversations from channels in Microsoft Teams to spaces in Google Chat, making it easier for organizations to onboard and deploy Chat.
This can be done within the Admin console in a few steps:
- First, connect to your Microsoft account.
- Then, upload a CSV of the teams from where you want to migrate the messages. You can specify the source to destination identity mapping by uploading a CSV of the email ID’s from source to target.
- Next, you’ll enter the starting date for messages to be migrated from Teams. Then you can begin your data migration.
- Finally, you’ll complete the migration by making migrated spaces, messages and related conversation data available to Google Workspace users (see our Centro de ayuda article for specific details on supported data types).
Starting a chat migration in the admin console
When a migration starts, the UI displays a visual report that breaks down tasks with individual progress bars for tasks that are successfully completed, skipped, failed or have warnings.
The final step to complete the migration is to roll out spaces, making migrated spaces and their content available to users.
Más información
- The Chat migration tool doesn’t delete or modify existing Google Chat spaces or messages.
- You can also run a delta migration, which will migrate any messages added to Teams channels since the primary migration. Messages that are already successfully migrated are skipped.
- Once a migration is complete, you can export a report that contains detailed information regarding content that skipped, failed or had warnings during the migration.
- En nuestro Centro de ayuda encontrará más información sobre migración de otras formas de datos a partir de distintos tipos de cuentas de origen.

Admins can now label a Google Group as “Locked,” which will heavily restrict changes to group attributes (such as group name & email address) and memberships. This will help admins who sync their groups from an external source and want to prevent getting out of sync, or who want to restrict changes to sensitive groups. This feature will be available in open beta, which means no additional sign-up is required.
The Group Details page in the Admin console shows a “Locked” label on the group, with the message “You can’t update this group – it might be managed by an external identity system.”
A quién afecta
Admins
Por qué es importante
If you use third-party tools, like Entra ID, to manage group synchronization, you may encounter inconsistencies when modifications are made to these groups, like adding or removing members, for example. To help address this, we’re introducing the option to “lock” a group, which will prevent modifications within Google Workspace and help maintain synchronization with the external source.
When a group is locked, only certain admins* can modify:
- The group name, description, email, and alias(es)
- Group labels
- Memberships (adding or removing members) and member restrictions
- Membership roles
- Delete the group
- Set up a new membership expiry
When a group is locked, access and content moderation settings are not affected, this includes:
- Who can post
- Who can view members
- Who can contact members
- Membership removals due to an existing membership expiry
- Access or content moderation settings
*Super Admins, Group Admins, and Group Editors with a condition that includes “Locked Groups”
Más información
By default, the changes listed above will be restricted from end users, including group owners and managers of a locked group. If you want to also restrict some admins from making these changes in the Admin Console or APIs, you can assign them the Group Editor role with a condition that excludes locked groups.
The ability to lock or unlock a group using the “Locked” label is available to Super Admins, Group Admins, or a custom role with the “Manage Locked Label” privilege. Lock a group using the “Locked” group label in the Admin Console, or the
API de grupos de identidad en la nube.

Since rolling out
Gemini in the side panel of Google Drive, users have been able to summarize one or multiple documents, get quick facts about a project, and more. We also introduced a new way for users to interact with the Gemini side panel while
viewing PDFs.
Today we’re excited to announce that you can now focus your Gemini conversations in Drive to a specific Drive folder using the side panel. For example, after indicating a specific folder via an @-mention, you can ask Gemini to find files in the folder or write a summary of the folder’s content. You could also ask things like:
- “Summarize files in @-folder”
- “What is the theme of the content in @-folder”
Más información
Gemini can only answer questions about text documents, PDFs, spreadsheets, and presentations.
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.

From the introduction of spaces, huddles, voice messages, and more, Google Chat has added major new features and transformed significantly over the past several years. As a result, usage reports for Google Chat are evolving as well. Beginning today, we’re pleased to introduce new, information-rich usage reports to help Workspace administrators understand how their teams are using Google Chat.
The charts being added are:
- User activity: the number of users based on two types (engaged and communicating) in the last 1 day and 28 days over a period of the last 180 days.
- “Engaged” users: these users read conversations. These users may, but are not required to, send messages and react to messages.
- “Communicating” users: these users send or react to messages. The number of communicating users is a subset of engaged users.
- Messages sent: the number of messages sent by users of your organization in 1 day, 7 day, and 28 day period over a period of the last 180 days.
- Messages sent by conversation type: the number of messages sent in 1 day in direct messages, group and space conversations over a period of the last 180 days.
- Messages sent by type: the number of messages sent in 1 day broken out by message type: regular message, voice or video, huddle over a period of the last 180 days.
- Messages sent with attachment: the number of messages sent with or without attachments in 1 day over a period of the last 180 days.
- Messages sent to conversations with external participants: the number of messages sent to conversation that include or may include users external to your organization over a period of the last 180 days.
- Created spaces*: the number of spaces created by users of your organization in 1 day over a period of the last 180 days
- Active spaces*: the number of spaces owned by your organization in 1 day over a period of the last 180 days.
Updated Apps Reports for Google Chat
Admins can view user level data for Google Chat, as you can with Gmail, Drive, and other apps today. Admins can also view how many conversations were read, how many messages were sent, how many attachments* were uploaded, and more. They can also sort this information by specific organizational units or groups to assess adoption or usage within specific parts of organization
User level reporting for Google Chat
*Active Spaces and Created Spaces charts may show different numbers from those in Active Rooms and Active Rooms legacy charts. Active Spaces and Created Spaces charts only count conversations of ‘space’ type; Active Rooms and Created Rooms count conversations of space group conversation types.
A quién afecta
Admins
Por qué es importante
The updated reporting aligns trackable metrics with the current Chat experience and provides essential data for analyzing and driving adoption, configuring safety features, and more.
For instance, admins can gain a deeper understanding of how their users are engaging with chat, differentiating between those who actively participate (send, react) and those who are primarily only reading messages. Organizational leaders can use these insights to assess the need for further product training to boost adoption. Additionally, monitoring the volume of messages sent to external users can signal to admins that safety measures should be implemented, like establishing data loss prevention (DLP) rules to safeguard sensitive information.
Additionally, Chat is now represented in
app usage reports, alongside other products like Google Drive and Gmail. While each set of apps has their own unique set of metrics, admins now have another data set to draw on when analyzing how their users are interacting with Google Workspace apps
Más información
With the implementation of these new, information rich charts, we’re planning to remove the following charts on July 1, 2025:
- Active Rooms
- Created Rooms
- Active Users
- Messages Posted
Also note that:
- Some metrics will take time to populate, such as the 7-day or 28-day views.
- If you’ve used the ‘Manage Reports’ or ‘Manage Columns’ features to customize the App Reports or User Reports pages, you’ll need to adjust your settings to see the new Google Chat charts and columns. These customization features, which allow you to hide, unhide, and rearrange the order of chats or columns, will prevent the new Google Chat data from automatically appearing in your reports.

We know there are scenarios in which you may want to reference a person with an
@mention without adding them to a conversation in Google Chat. Starting today, when mentioning a user that is not already in the conversation, you will have the option to add them and send the message, or just send the message without adding them.
We’re also adding visual improvements by rendering @mentions as smart chips, which brings them more in line with
Drive chips in Chat and smart chips across Workspace. With simplified colors, your personal mentions still stand out the most and will be easily spotted in conversations, Home and Mentions.
On web, hovering on the chip will show more information about the person and clicking the chip will start a new 1:1 direct message with them.
