Google Workspace Changes

Introduction of 'Help me create' in Google Docs to build structured, stylized documents using Gemini.

Google is introducing 'Help me create', a new feature in Google Docs that allows users to generate full, visually-appealing documents from a single custom prompt. By using the '@ filename' syntax, users can pull content from their Google Drive files to create long-form documents that include cover images, in-line images, stylized text, and tables. The feature is currently available in English and supported on pageless documents.

Easier discovery and installation of Google Workspace Marketplace apps in Google Docs.

When users add a link into a Google Doc that is supported by select Marketplace apps, they will now be prompted to install the relevant add-on. Once installed, users can replace the link with a third-party smart chip and preview app information by hovering over the chip.

Improved accessibility tagging for PDFs exported from Google Docs.

Google is adding more structural and accessibility tagging to PDFs exported from Google Docs to improve navigation for users with screen readers and other assistive technology. Specifically, tagging has been improved for paragraphs, headings, hyperlinks, image alt text, and lists.

users who are interacting with policy-protected content, such as those with data loss prevention (DLP) rules or trust rules, will now be informed about what actions are prevented by those policies
