Google Workspace Changes

Gemini in Google Forms now enables users to generate quizzes via natural‑language prompts, optionally pulling content from Google Drive files.

The feature is rolling out to Rapid Release domains starting July 24, 2026 (visible within 15 days) and to Scheduled Release domains starting August 5, 2026 (also visible within 15 days).
