Google Workspace Changes

New intelligent content-based detection and additional regional security detectors for data loss prevention.

Admins can use data loss prevention to create and apply rules to control what content your users can share in Google Drive files outside your organization, helping to prevent unintended exposure of sensitive information. These additional detectors, along with intelligent based scanning, help to further secure your environment and sensitive data.

We're introducing document previews for Cloud Search, allowing users to preview search results before opening the file.

With this capability, you can be more confident about the link you are clicking on by getting a sneak peek into the document and avoid clicking on non-relevant results.

Classic Hangouts will be upgraded to Google Chat beginning March 22, 2022.

Beginning March 22, 2022, the “Chat preferred” setting will be turned on for any customers who haven’t already done so, making Google Chat the default chat application. This means that when users visit classic Hangouts in Gmail on the web or the classic Hangouts mobile apps, they’ll be directed to Chat. Hangouts.google.com will continue to work.
