Quick access to restore recently deleted users from Admin console homepage and User List page.
Admins can now more easily identify and restore recently deleted users. For organizations with fewer than 100 active users, a notification appears on the 'Users' card on the Admin console homepage showing the number of deleted users and the time remaining before permanent deletion. Additionally, all admins can now access 'Recently deleted users' via the 'More' menu on the User List page.

New admin control to manage the display of user availability across Google Workspace products.
Google is introducing a new Admin setting that allows administrators to control whether a user's Google Calendar status, such as 'out of office', is visible across other Google Workspace products like Google Chat and Gmail. This setting is enabled by default and can be disabled at the domain or organizational unit (OU) level to provide greater control over user information visibility.
