More granular admin controls for Workspace Studio steps and starters

We’re introducing more granular admin controls for Workspace Studio steps and starters. With these new controls, admins can define which steps and starters people in their organization can use to create flows, including by Workspace service or individually. They provide admins more granular control of Studio functionality, and are particularly useful for gradual rollout of Studio in their organizations.

Getting started

• Admins: Workspace Studio starters and steps will be ON by default and can be disabled at the domain, organizational unit, or group level. Visit the Help Center to learn more. 
• End users: There is no end user setting for this feature. The steps turned off by admins will show up as disabled (greyed out) in Studio. Existing flows with these steps won’t run, and the user will see an error.

Rollout pace

• Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains: Full rollout (1–3 days for feature visibility) starting on May 26, 2026

Availability

• Business: Business Starter, Standard, and Plus
• Enterprise: Enterprise Standard and Plus
• Education: Education Fundamentals, Standard, Plus
• Education Add-ons: Google AI Pro for Education; Teaching and Learning
• Other Add-ons: AI Expanded Access*

*Starting June 1, 2026, users with AI Expanded Access licenses will have higher limits on usage of Workspace Studio.
