Admins can &lt;a href=&quot;https://support.google.com/a/answer/10095404&quot;&gt;turn on default personalization setting for their users in the Admin console.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;End users:&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;To access this feature, double-click on a PDF from the Google Drive file list and click on &quot;Ask Gemini&quot; (star button) in the top right corner.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Note: When Gemini initially launched in Workspace, PDFs viewed in Drive opened in a new browser tab to allow interaction with the Gemini side panel. With this update, the default behavior will open a file in the overlay file previewer. If you prefer for PDFs to open in a new tab by default, you can update your PDF opening default behavior in your &lt;a href=&quot;https://drive.google.com/corp/drive/settings&quot;&gt;Drive settings.&lt;/a&gt; If you previously set a preferred PDF opening default behavior in your &lt;a href=&quot;https://drive.google.com/corp/drive/settings&quot;&gt;Drive setting&lt;/a&gt;, your default open behavior will remain the same.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Visit the Help Center to learn more about &lt;a href=&quot;https://support.google.com/drive/answer/15141241&quot;&gt;using Gemini in Drive to work with PDFs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Rollout pace&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://support.google.com/a/answer/172177&quot;&gt;Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domain&lt;/a&gt;s: Gradual rollout (up to 15 days for feature visibility) starting on March 26, 2025&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Availability&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Available to Google Workspace:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Business &lt;/b&gt;Standard and Plus&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Enterprise&lt;/b&gt; Standard and Plus&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Google One &lt;b&gt;AI Premium&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Customers with the &lt;b&gt;Gemini Education&lt;/b&gt; or &lt;b&gt;Gemini Education Premium&lt;/b&gt; add-on&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt;Anyone who previously purchased these add-ons will also receive this feature:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Gemini&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Business*&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Gemini&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Enterprise*&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;*As of January 15, 2025, we’re no longer offering the Gemini Business and Gemini Enterprise add-ons for sale.

Hover over each response to get a quick preview of the text, select the one that feels right for the situation, and edit it as you see fit or send the response immediately.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw2bY04rSWWZrsHdUi3cik1PCOoelP58XiAkudB7ec9OAIZN1eVWWv3Nu9dEpDz4fIlPDXJDvspBRL_dConPrM9-7pnCiC-2SMPHRqwRIMV5D-zMS5EYpN4P9VW6ZM5arv-o3LHoizOxGriVTSg5Qd_57-CQaj55sV0_YanjiDuUxGIXxQ1gW6BOlwh7o/s1600/5jqZ3c3TebUoWNz.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Contextual Smart Replies now available for Google Workspace Business and Enterprise editions&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;900&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1600&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw2bY04rSWWZrsHdUi3cik1PCOoelP58XiAkudB7ec9OAIZN1eVWWv3Nu9dEpDz4fIlPDXJDvspBRL_dConPrM9-7pnCiC-2SMPHRqwRIMV5D-zMS5EYpN4P9VW6ZM5arv-o3LHoizOxGriVTSg5Qd_57-CQaj55sV0_YanjiDuUxGIXxQ1gW6BOlwh7o/s16000/5jqZ3c3TebUoWNz.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Who’s impacted&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;End users&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Why you’d use it&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;The contextual Smart Reply feature saves time and makes replying to emails more efficient.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Getting started&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Admins:&lt;/b&gt; Visit the Help Center to learn more about &lt;a href=&quot;https://support.google.com/a/answer/15756885#access&quot;&gt;Gemini feature&lt;/a&gt; settings.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;End users:&lt;/b&gt; Make sure “Smart features and personalization” is enabled in Gmail to access this feature.

To further enhance the experience, we’re pleased to announce that auto-classification labeling with &lt;a href=&quot;https://support.google.com/a/answer/14767988?sjid=10103587203252669323-NC&quot;&gt;data loss prevention (DLP) rules&lt;/a&gt; and actions triggered by classification labels detected in the message will now be applied instantly when using Gmail on the web. Previously, users were informed of any implications after messages left the inbox. With this update, the feedback is instant, providing the opportunity to educate users on why their message is classified, blocked or quarantined, and how to remedy the issue to keep their email communications flowing.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With this new functionality, and with this feature still in an open beta period, we strongly encourage you to continue &lt;a href=&quot;https://google.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_556mw1Ej2LXywxU&quot;&gt;providing feedback&lt;/a&gt; so we can optimize the feature for general availability.

Some ways you can use Data Protection Rules with Classification Labels are:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Prevent messages based on a specific classification (e.g. Confidential, Internal, NTK) from being accidentally shared with unauthorized users.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;You can create a rule with specific label(s) as a condition and choose an action to trigger when a message is sent:&lt;/li&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Warn:&lt;/b&gt; users will see a notification that their message may contain sensitive information, helping to prevent accidental sharing. Note that this action does not block the message from being sent.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Block: &lt;/b&gt;users will be notified that their message will not be sent unless the label is changed or removed (if data organization policy allows).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You can also create a rule in a way that allows for sharing labeled messages only if &lt;a href=&quot;https://support.google.com/a/answer/7684332&quot;&gt;confidential mode &lt;/a&gt;is enabled for the message.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Enforce classification on every message or specific messages&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;You can create a rule that warns users or blocks the message if a specific classification label is not found in the message. This can help educate users and drive adoption of your organization’s data classification policy among users.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Automatically apply classification labels messages if specific information types are found in the message&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;You can create a rule to automatically apply a specific classification label if certain criteria is met. For example, credit card information or medical information are contained within the email.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You can also configure the rule to allow users to modify the label to a more appropriate one based on the situation and data classification policy of your organization.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;For more detailed information, please refer to our &lt;a href=&quot;https://workspaceupdates.googleblog.com/2024/11/open-beta-data-classification-labels-gmail.html&quot;&gt;beta announcement&lt;/a&gt; as well as our &lt;a href=&quot;https://support.google.com/a/answer/9292382?hl=en&amp;amp;ref_topic=13128179&amp;amp;sjid=10103587203252669323-NC&quot;&gt;Help Center&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Additional details&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;At this time, this update is only supported when using Gmail on the web.

Currently, each organization in an external 1:1 direct message conversation can set their own retention policy, which impacts what messages end users see in the Chat user interface and what admins see in Google Vault.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;To provide a more consistent product experience across conversation types, we are changing how retention policies are applied to 1:1 direct messages with external participants.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Following this change, 1:1 direct messages with external participants will respect the retention policy of the user who created the conversation. If a user in your organization did not create the conversation, they may see more or fewer messages in the Chat user interface after this change since the creator’s policy will be respected. You can see who created the conversation by scrolling to the top of the conversation, or hovering over the external badge.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;This change does not impact an admin’s ability to apply a retention policy or ability to access 1:1 direct messages in Google Vault or Data Export for users with a Google Vault policy applied.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If you do not have Vault, or do not have a Vault policy applied, changes in access to conversations will apply to the Chat user interface and Data Export. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Additionally, today, in the case that two users within the same organization have conflicting retention policies, we respect those policies separately for each user in the Chat user interface, and in Google Vault. Once the migration happens, we will respect the longer of the two retention policies for both the Chat user interface and Google Vault. If one user has a custom retention rule while the other has only a default retention rule, the custom rule will take precedence for both users.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If an &lt;a href=&quot;https://support.google.com/a/answer/13364888&quot;&gt;auto-deletion policy&lt;/a&gt; applies to one user in the conversation, that policy will delete messages for both users in the Chat user interface. If both users have an auto deletion policy, the shorter of the two policies will be respected for both users. Even if messages are deleted from the Chat user interface, they will continue to be retained in Google Vault in accordance with the configured retention policy.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Starting May 1, 2025:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;All new external 1:1 direct messages will respect the retention policy of the creator.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;For users with a Vault policy applied, the creator’s policy will only impact messages in the Chat product user interface.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Starting June 2, 2025:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;Existing 1:1 direct messages will migrate to respect the retention policy of the creator.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;For users with a Vault policy applied, the creator’s policy will only impact messages in the Chat product user interface.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;By August 1, 2025:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;We anticipate the migration will be complete.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Until February 1, 2026:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;We will preserve impacted 1:1 direct messages in Google Vault or Data Export for 6 months past the end of the migration to allow organizations to download a copy of the data.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Why it matters&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;It’s important to note that if your organization has a Google Vault policy applied to your users, you will not lose access to any conversations—even if they no longer appear in the Chat product user interface. &lt;/b&gt;If your organization does not have Vault or does not have a Vault policy applied, some conversations that were previously available may no longer be available in Data Export or Vault.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Getting started&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Admins:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;For more information, including answers to common questions about this change, check out our admin &lt;a href=&quot;https://support.google.com/a/answer/15796199&quot;&gt;guide to message retention changes&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;We recommend that you &lt;a href=&quot;https://support.google.com/a/answer/9269229&quot;&gt;confirm your external chatting settings&lt;/a&gt; and ensure you have Vault policies properly configured (if applicable) to preserve data for the desired amount of time.

The banner in the admin console has turned red to alert admins that action is required. While the rollout begins in March, it might take several weeks before some users in your organization are impacted.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can easily view which applications require consent reconfirmation from &lt;i&gt;Admin console &amp;gt; Apps &amp;gt; Additional Google services&lt;/i&gt;.
