- Gemini now has app-specific conversation history
- Conversations are private, even in shared files, keeping your context intact
- Administrators can choose to allow you to delete chats or set up an automatic deletion schedule.
Google Workspace customers will now see conversation history in the Gemini side panel, allowing them to pick up where they left off or revisit previous chats without having to re-explain the context.
The update, currently being deployed, will only provide conversation history after installation – Gemini will not be able to retrospectively fill in missing conversations.
“History will only begin to populate once the feature is available to a specific user; conversations held before deployment will not be recorded,” Google wrote in a blog post announcing the news.
Workspace Gemini users now get chat history
History will be app-specific, so conversations in Docs chats stay in Docs, etc., making it easier to organize in Google’s online office software. Google also emphasized that conversations are private to the individual, even within shared files.
As for administrators, IT teams now have access to more deletion controls. Manual deletion is enabled by default, users can delete individual chats, but admins can also disable it to prevent manual deletion to comply with the data retention policy. Administrators can also choose different automatic deletion frequencies.
The changes are rolling out to Business Starter/Standard/Plus, Enterprise Starter/Standard/Plus, Frontline Plus, Education Plus, Teaching & Learning, AI Pro for Eduction, and AI Pro/Ultra accounts.
Members of the Gemini Alpha program are already starting to benefit from the changes, with rapid and scheduled release domains receiving the updates towards the end of March.
And when it comes to organizational use of Gemini, Google has also provided businesses with new admin console reports to monitor AI usage. “Administrators can use this information to make decisions about AI enablement, adoption, and productivity for their organization,” Google wrote in another blog post.
