- Gemini now has app-specific conversation history
- Conversations are private, even on shared files, keeping their context intact.
- Administrators can choose whether 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 explain the context again.
The update, which is in the process of rolling out, will only bring conversation history after it has been installed; Gemini will not be able to retrospectively complete missing conversations.
“History will only begin to fill once the feature is active for a specific user; conversations held before launch will not be saved,” Google wrote in a blog post announcing the news.
Workspace Gemini users now get conversation history
History will be app-specific, so conversations within Docs chats will remain in Docs, and so on, making it easier to organize across Google’s online office software. Google also highlighted 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, where users can delete individual chats, but administrators can also disable it to prevent manual deletion to comply with data retention policy. Administrators can also choose various auto-delete frequencies.
The changes are being rolled 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 beginning to receive the changes, and rapid and scheduled release domains will receive the updates towards the end of March.
And as for organizational use of Gemini, Google has also provided companies with new Admin Console reports to monitor AI usage. “Managers can use this information to make decisions about AI enablement, adoption, and productivity for their organizations,” Google wrote in a separate blog post.
