Use suggestions in your client-side encrypted Google Docs

Use suggestions in your client-side encrypted Google Docs
Wednesday, June 4, 2025

What’s changing
You can now see suggestions when viewing a client-side encrypted Google Doc. Those with edit access will be able to interact with suggestions, including adding, editing, accepting, and rejecting suggestions. This update adds to existing functionality for client-side encrypted docs, which includes comments and action items. Further, this added functionality helps brings user experience parity to encrypted documents while ensuring your data is behind encryption keys you control, including the identity provider used to access those keys
