Google Workspace Feature Drop

Native Markdown (.md) editing and preview in Google Docs and Google Drive

You can now preview, edit, and collaborate on Markdown (.md) files directly in Docs and Drive. This update makes it easier for technical and non-technical teams to co-author and align on work without tedious file conversions.

A prominent .md badge in the document header confirms you are editing a Markdown file in Docs, giving your teams full co-editing access with real-time comments and version history. Plus, Drive now renders Markdown previews directly, transforming raw files into rendered, reader-friendly documents.

Conversational voice in Gmail and Docs

• Speak to search your inbox with Gmail Live: This is perfect for getting quick answers to questions or checking a project update status, hands-free, while en route to your destination.
• Turn spoken ideas into structured drafts with Docs Live: Just start talking through your ideas, and Docs Live Organises your spoken brainstorms into project briefs, executive summaries, or client strategy memos.

All responses are personalised to your work context and grounded in your emails, chats and Drive files.

Connect global teams and simplify follow-ups in Google Meet

Real-time speech translation across any combination of 63 languages in Meet

Built with Gemini 3.5 Live Translate, real-time speech translation in Meet now supports 63 languages, enabling you to translate across any combination of them during 1:1 and team meetings. As participants speak, Meet dynamically translates spoken audio and captions into each attendee’s preferred language. In just a few clicks, anyone on the call can turn on speech translation independently without disrupting others.

Quick notes in Meet for a faster executive summary

“Take notes for me” in Meet now defaults to Quick notes, giving attendees and absentees a concise one-page summary of key decisions and next steps. The full notes and transcripts are still available in the document tabs.

Automate post-meeting follow-ups with Workspace Studio

Find routine next steps directly on your post-call screen in Meet. With one click, you can draft follow-up emails and sync action items to Google Tasks before your next meeting starts.

Migrate from Microsoft 365 to Google Workspace up to 5x faster

Updates to Google’s cloud-native data import service help you migrate Microsoft 365 inboxes, calendars, chats and files up to 5x faster and at no additional cost:

• Microsoft Teams to Google Chat: Migrate channel message history, direct messages, attachments, and spaces with high fidelity.
• Microsoft OneDrive to Drive: Quickly transfer individual files, nested folder structures, and user permissions directly into Drive.
• SharePoint Online to shared drives in Workspace: Move complex team document libraries, permissions, and metadata into shared drives.

Collaborate more easily with Microsoft 365 users across Gmail. Docs and Sheets

Office Editing Mode is now more powerful and accessible than ever before. Start by opening your Office attachments directly from Gmail. Edit them seamlessly with our latest interoperability improvements, like cross-references in Docs or improved charts and pivot tables in Sheets. When you’re done, email the latest version back to the sender with a single click in the Share menu.

Additional AI-powered capabilities to Google Sheets and Vids

Citations and 3,000-cell capacity for Fill with Gemini in Sheets

Fill with Gemini and the AI function in Sheets now cite web sources for generated cells, making it easier to verify and audit Gemini’s output. You can also process more data at once with expanded limits of up to 3,000 cells per request.

Higher-quality video generation with Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash in Vids

Built with Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash, Vids now delivers higher-quality AI video generation, extended clip lengths, precise duration control, and full 1080p video upscaling.
