Google has rolled out a batch of updates to Workspace this month, mixing new AI features with a useful improvement for administrators.
- What it is: Updates include one-click co-presenting in Google Meet, new automation steps in Workspace Studio, AI-generated video summaries in Google Vids, and the general release of Google Pics for AI image creation and editing.
- Who is affected: All Google Workspace business users, with the most relevant change for IT administrators being new audit logging for Gemini Notebook usage in the Admin console.
- What the risk is: There is no security risk here, but administrators who rely on audit logs for compliance should be aware of the new Gemini Notebook tracking now available.
- What action is needed: No urgent action is required. Review the new AI features to see if they suit your team, and check the new audit logs if your business uses Gemini Notebook.
These are optional productivity upgrades rather than fixes, worth a look but nothing to action urgently.
