Google Workspace is constantly evolving, with new features and improvements rolling out every month. In this update, we’ll highlight some of the most impactful changes from March 2025 that can enhance your productivity and collaboration.
A new Board Tab has been introduced in Google Chat, allowing users to pin important messages, resources, and files in one convenient place. This feature, accessible in both direct messages and spaces, provides a more structured way to keep essential information at hand. Unlike the existing shared or files tab, the Board Tab gives users greater control over what gets pinned. Additionally, Google’s AI suggests relevant resources, which can be manually adjusted to suit your needs.
Managing multiple conversations is now easier with the ability to create custom sections in Google Chat. By clicking the three-dot menu next to any conversation, users can move chats into predefined sections or create new ones. Whether you’re organizing messages by teams, topics, or project phases, this feature helps declutter your chat interface. Users can also adjust section heights, reorder them, and configure unread message preferences for better workflow management.
Google has introduced an AI-generated Summary building block in Docs. By typing @summary, users can generate an automatic document summary powered by Gemini AI. This feature is particularly useful for summarizing lengthy reports, meeting notes, or technical documents, making it easier to extract key takeaways without reading the entire content.
The Gemini Canvas feature provides an improved way to interact with AI-generated content. Instead of relying on text-based prompts to refine content, users can now work within an interactive editor. For example, if Gemini drafts a speech, you can highlight specific sections, adjust tone, shorten or expand text, and apply AI-generated suggestions seamlessly. This applies not only to text but also to code, making it a powerful tool for developers creating web apps, scripts, or HTML components.
Creating video content is now more efficient with AI voiceovers in Google Vids. When generating a video from a report or document, users can automatically apply AI-generated narration. The tool allows for customization, so you can tweak the voiceover script, adjust styles, and fine-tune the final product based on your preferences. This feature eliminates the need for manual recording, saving time and ensuring professional-quality results.
These updates reflect Google’s continued commitment to improving collaboration, automation, and user experience within Workspace. Whether it’s better chat organization, AI-powered summaries, or streamlined video creation, these enhancements can significantly boost productivity.
