ChatGPT Enterprise/EDU Release Notes

The Outlook Email and Calendar apps for ChatGPT now support more delegated Outlook workflows for teams. With the right Microsoft permissions, users can ask ChatGPT to list and read shared mailbox messages, browse shared mailbox folders, mark shared mail read or unread, move shared messages, and send plain-text email from or on behalf of a shared mailbox. ChatGPT can also create, update, respond to, cancel, delete, and attach small files to events on shared Outlook calendars.

Workspace owners and admins should review Microsoft Entra permissions, RBAC access, and the Outlook app's action controls before enabling newly added actions. Users who previously connected Outlook may need to reconnect after the workspace enables the new actions; Microsoft Entra approval may also be required.

We're introducing a new seat type for ChatGPT Enterprise: a Codex seat based on flexible pricing. Codex seats provide access to Codex only - they do not include ChatGPT workspace access, and have no fixed cost per user per month. Using Codex requires workspace credits, while standard ChatGPT seats continue to include ChatGPT and Codex with baseline access and optional flexible pricing for usage beyond included rate limits.

Read more about the Codex seat and seat-type behavior here. For member management, SCIM provisioning, and how to change a member's seat type, see Managing members, seat types, roles and access in ChatGPT Enterprise.

We've also updated the Codex Rate Card. New ChatGPT Enterprise workspaces use token-based rates, while existing Enterprise and new/existing ChatGPT Edu, ChatGPT for Teachers, and ChatGPT for Healthcare workspaces continue on the legacy message-based rates until migration. If you have questions about the new rates or migration timing, contact your OpenAI representative.

We’re rolling out updated Box, Notion, Linear, and Dropbox apps in ChatGPT Enterprise and Edu. These updates add new app actions, including new write capabilities where supported, and bring the latest app experience into ChatGPT.

The new apps are disabled by default, and workspace admins/owners can review the app as well as the app's actions in Workspace settings > Apps to enable those aligned to their workspace needs. New actions (such as write actions) may involve updated scopes - admins/owners should check the Box, Notion, Linear, and Dropbox app pages for details, and authorize any scopes required. New users may not be able to connect these apps until the scope authorizations are met, or actions are enabled/disabled in alignment with authorized scopes.

Members who previously connected these apps may need to reconnect the app after admin review to start using the updated experience.

Codex now includes a curated plugins directory that lets users discover, install, and use packaged workflows built from apps and skills directly in Codex. Plugins are installable bundles for reusable Codex workflows, making it easier to share the same setup across projects or teams. Plugins can package skills, optional app integrations, and MCP server configurations in a single place.

Plugin access follows workspace app controls. Enterprise and Edu admins can manage enabled apps in Workspace settings → Apps, and can use RBAC to assign app access to specific roles.

Google Drive connector unification

Google’s file connectors in ChatGPT are now unified under Google Drive, providing a single app experience for interacting with your Google Docs, Sheets and Slides on Google Drive.

The new Google Drive actions are off by default for Enterprise/Edu workspaces. Admins/owners can review and manage actions from Workspace settings > Apps. Locate the Google Drive entry and click Manage actions.

Existing users of Google Drive, Docs, Sheets and Slides apps are unaffected - previously connected apps continue to work. After the new actions are enabled by admins/owners, existing users may reconnect the Google Drive app to start using the new actions within ChatGPT. New users can connect only to the Google Drive app to use Docs, Sheets and Slides actions, without needing to connect the separate apps.

Google Workspace admins may need to re-authorize Google scopes corresponding to app actions - otherwise, users may hit connection errors when trying to connect. Read more.

Impact surveys are now available for ChatGPT Edu in addition to Enterprise, with an Edu-specific question set.

Export

Impact survey results can now be exported.

Admin-created surveys

Workspace owners can now launch an Admin-created survey from the Impact tab. These surveys let workspace owners trigger an impact survey for their workspace on demand, unlike the regularly scheduled OpenAI-created surveys.

Note that custom question and answer sets are not supported at this time.

Survey start date change

OpenAI-created impact surveys will now begin on or after March 31, 2026 instead of the previously communicated March 26, 2026.

To learn more about impact surveys, see:

Managing impact surveys in workspace analytics.

GPT-5.4 mini in ChatGPT

We’re rolling out GPT-5.4 mini in ChatGPT. GPT-5.4 mini is available to Free and Go users via the “Thinking” feature in the + menu. For all other users, GPT-5.4 mini is available as a rate limit fallback for GPT-5.4 Thinking.

For Plus, Pro, and other paid users, GPT-5.4 mini will be used as a fallback for GPT-5.4 Thinking when rate limits are reached, helping with continued access to reasoning capabilities during high usage. Enterprise customers will retain the option to default Auto routing to GPT-5.4 mini, if preferred.

GPT-5.4 mini will not appear as a selectable model in the model picker, and GPT-5 Thinking mini will be retired as a selectable option in 30 days. Learn more in our blog post.

Updates to the model picker in ChatGPT

We’ve simplified the model picker to make it easier to choose the right level of reasoning.

Users on Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Edu accounts will see a set of model options depending on their plan, including:

• Instant – fast responses for everyday questions

• Thinking – deeper reasoning for more complex tasks

• Pro – the most advanced reasoning models

The Auto functionality can be accessed by clicking Configure in the model picker menu and choosing "Auto-switch to thinking.” This setting will automatically be on if your last chat was set to Auto.

Write actions for Google and Microsoft Apps in ChatGPT

We've updated scopes and actions in Google and Microsoft apps in ChatGPT to include support for write actions. You can now use apps like Microsoft Outlook email to draft emails for you, Google docs and sheets to create spreadsheets or docs, or setup meetings using the respective calendar apps.

Write actions remain disabled by default until workspace admins enable them in
Settings > Apps > Manage actions
per app. For Microsoft apps, some customers may also need Microsoft Entra admin approval for updated scopes before new users can connect successfully. Learn more in the Help Center: Apps in ChatGPT , Microsoft Outlook app for ChatGPT , Microsoft Calendar app for ChatGPT , and Microsoft Teams app for ChatGPT .

Workspace analytics

A refreshed analytics experience, entitled
Workspace analytics
, is now available for ChatGPT Enterprise and Edu. Workspace analytics, replacing
User analytics
, introduces workspace-level analytics to help admins understand adoption, engagement, and how teams use ChatGPT across their organization.

Key highlights:

• Refreshed analytics experience: Updated visuals and navigation, including new tabs that surface insights on how teams use ChatGPT and the outcomes it delivers.
• Benchmark comparisons: Compare adoption and engagement metrics against an industry median.
• Impact: Understand self-reported outcomes such as productivity, time saved, work quality, and work satisfaction through surveys sent to users.
• Note: The
  Impact
  tab will only be enabled for
  Enterprise
  workspaces (not Edu) upon release.
• Task insights: View aggregated patterns of work in ChatGPT, including task categories and conversation topics.

Additionally, a new user type,
analytics viewer
, allows designated workspace members to view workspace analytics alongside workspace owners and admins.

Note:
Task Insights and user-distributed impact surveys are
enabled by default.
Workspace admins and owners may opt out of one or both of these features. Workspaces
will have approximately 2 weeks
from initial release to opt out before surveys may be sent to users.

For more information and an overview of the
Workspace analytics
feature, see:
Workspace analytics for ChatGPT Enterprise and Edu
.

For guidance on how to operationalize these insights (playbooks, enablement motions, champion programs), see our Academy guide:
ChatGPT Enterprise workspace analytics guide.

We updated the scopes requested by the Outlook Calendar, Outlook Email, Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft Teams apps to support additional actions. Microsoft Entra admins will need to review and approve the updated app scopes before new users connect - users may hit connection issues, otherwise.

Note that the new scopes do not automatically make available (or enable) new actions for these apps (including any write actions). Workspace admins and owners will need to review available app actions by locating the app entry in Workspace settings > Apps, and then clicking Manage actions.

New actions, when made available, are disabled by default - admins/owners can review and then enable actions if appropriate for their workspace.

Skills beta for ChatGPT Business and Enterprise

We’re introducing Skills, a new way for teams to turn proven workflows into reusable instructions that ChatGPT can apply automatically. Skills define when to use a workflow, the steps to follow, and the format of the result—so teams get consistent outputs without repeating the same instructions in every prompt.

Skills can be shared across a workspace and automatically applied in conversation when relevant. For Enterprise and Edu, admins can manage who can create, share, and install skills using role-based controls. Skills are currently in beta and are off by default for Enterprise and Edu workspaces. Admins can enable them at any time.

Codex app is now available on Windows for ChatGPT Enterprise and Edu workspaces that include Codex. Members can run multiple Codex agents in parallel from a Windows desktop surface, with isolated worktrees and reviewable diffs that stay interoperable with Codex in the CLI and IDE.

Permissions

Admins do not need to set up separate app-specific permissions for the app. Codex Local permissions continue to govern local usage, and Codex Cloud permissions govern delegated cloud tasks from the app and other cloud-based Codex surfaces. Learn more: Using Codex with your ChatGPT plan.
