Google Workspace Changes

More control over accessibility preferences in Google Docs

Improving the ability to adjust your accessibility preferences for Docs separately.

Context-Aware Access remediator provides more context for access denials

Admins can now place shared drives into sub organizational units (OUs) in open beta.
