ChatGPT Enterprise/EDU Updates & Release Notes

ChatGPT for PowerPoint is now generally available for Enterprise and Edu workspaces. Users can create and revise editable presentations directly in Microsoft PowerPoint, analyze a deck’s narrative and structure, and use approved Skills and apps to work from authorized sources. Advanced edits and template matching may still require review.

Admins can enable the add-in through workspace settings or deploy it through Microsoft 365, including RBAC-based access where applicable. For eligible workspaces, ChatGPT for PowerPoint supports workspace policy enforcement, scoped source access, Compliance API coverage for prompts and responses, EU Inference Residency, and Enterprise Key Management.

Excel/Sheets and Workspace Agent pricing

ChatGPT for Excel/Sheets tasks now use token-based credit pricing for Enterprise and Edu workspaces. Workspace Agent runs also use token-based credit pricing for Enterprise workspaces. Credit use is based on input tokens, cached input tokens, and output tokens rather than a fixed credit cost.

ChatGPT for PowerPoint remains free for Enterprise customers through August 6, 2026. Charging starts after that date under the same token-based pricing model as ChatGPT for Excel/Sheets.

Simplified controls in the model picker

We’re rolling out an updated model picker for ChatGPT Enterprise and Edu on web, iOS, and Android. It makes it easier to choose the balance of speed and reasoning effort that works best for a task without changing the underlying models available to a workspace.

The picker now includes:

• Instant
• Medium
• High
• Extra High
• Pro Standard
• Pro Extended

Medium replaces Thinking Standard, High replaces Thinking Extended, and Extra High replaces Thinking Heavy. Pro Standard and Pro Extended continue to use GPT-5.5 Pro. Thinking Light is no longer available.

All six options are available to Enterprise and Edu workspaces, subject to workspace access settings.
Reasoning Model Access controls Medium, High, and Extra High.
Pro Model Access controls Pro Standard and Pro Extended. Options that a member cannot access are hidden from the picker.

The Redirect Auto Router to Thinking mini setting is unchanged and continues to apply only to automatic reasoning. On iOS and Android, the picker appears at the top of the conversation. On web, it appears in the message composer.

Admin controls for plugins for ChatGPT Enterprise and Edu

Workspace admins and owners can now manage plugins from Workspace settings > Plugins. This page brings plugin discovery and governance into one surface, including search and filters for status, installation policy, roles, category, and catalog. Additionally, workspace owners can enable or disable plugins for their workspace or for select roles from Workspace settings > Permissions & Roles.

Admins and owners can set whether plugins are available for members to install or installed by default - for the workspace, or for specific roles. Admins can also view the apps the plugin uses, and manage the plugin from this view. Learn more: Plugins in Codex

Memory improvements for ChatGPT Enterprise and Edu

We’re rolling out improved memory for ChatGPT Enterprise and Edu. When memory is enabled, ChatGPT can use relevant context from past chats to keep memory current and make responses more relevant as work changes, rather than relying only on details saved manually.

Users can now:

• Review a memory summary showing information ChatGPT may use to personalize responses.
• View Sources below personalized responses to see relevant context from memories, past chats, and custom instructions.
• Correct memory, delete a referenced chat, mark a source as not relevant, turn memory off, or return to legacy Saved memories.

The memory summary is a high-level view of relevant context and may not include everything ChatGPT can remember or reference.

For ChatGPT Enterprise, the improved experience will begin with an early access period of approximately two weeks. During early access, admins can turn on Use improved memory in Workspace settings. After early access, it will turn on by default for eligible workspaces unless an admin opts out. Admins and users can switch back to legacy Saved memories.

This update does not affect Codex memory. Project-only memory remains contained within each project and does not use memories or conversations from outside that project. These improvements are available at no additional cost.

Learn more about the research behind these memory improvements in ChatGPT.

Codex Remote GA and DigitalOcean workspaces

Codex Remote is now generally available to users in ChatGPT Enterprise and Edu workspaces. From the ChatGPT mobile app, users can start or continue work on a connected Mac or Windows host, review progress, and approve actions from their phone. Remote Control now uses authenticated one-to-one QR pairing between each supported mobile device and each host. Connections used since June 8 remain paired; older inactive connections need to pair again. Signing out turns off Remote Control without removing existing pairings.

The new DigitalOcean Droplet Workspace plugin is also available to ChatGPT Enterprise and Edu users. It lets Codex provision a DigitalOcean Droplet, configure SSH access, and connect it to the Codex app as a remote workspace. Users should update the ChatGPT mobile app and Codex app to the latest versions before connecting.

Enterprise and Edu workspaces can now enable Slack connector actions in ChatGPT. In addition to searching Slack, ChatGPT can take supported actions such as joining a channel, creating a reminder, uploading a file, or updating a user's Slack profile when the connector and relevant actions are enabled.

Admins can review Slack under Apps in ChatGPT and use Action control to manage which actions are available. Some actions may require additional Slack OAuth scopes or approval from a Slack workspace or Enterprise Grid admin. Existing Slack capabilities that do not require the new scopes continue to work if additional scopes are not approved. Learn more in the ChatGPT Slack app article.

Usage limits, Global Admin Console billing and analytics

Enterprise and Edu admins now have new tools for managing credit usage and reviewing billing-related activity. Usage limits in Workspace settings let admins and owners set monthly credit limits by workspace, group, and user, review increase requests, and migrate from existing weekly limits in Permissions & roles.

The Global Admin Console now also includes updated Analytics and Billing areas for eligible workspaces, including credit analytics, Codex and ChatGPT usage views, plan details, credit balances, grant activity, invoices, usage alerts, and overage limit settings. Admins, owners and analytics viewers can view usage data, and export data across different features and dimensions, such as credits used by Codex and ChatGPT, leaderboards for users and agents, and Codex and ChatGPT usage broken down by feature.

Library is rolling out to Enterprise, Edu, and Healthcare workspaces, giving members a dedicated place to find and reuse files they upload to or create in ChatGPT. Files saved to Library follow workspace retention policies.

Workspace owners can control whether ChatGPT automatically references Library files when responding. Turning off automatic referencing does not remove Library or prevent members from browsing, searching, opening, or attaching files themselves. For Healthcare workspaces, automatic referencing is off by default.

Library-specific Compliance API endpoints are also available for exporting and deleting Library files. Library does not introduce new external sharing or multiplayer collaboration.

Learn more about File storage and Library in ChatGPT.

App permissions for connected apps

Workspace admins can now use App permissions, where available, to choose when ChatGPT asks members before using connected apps. Admins can set a workspace-wide default and choose a different permission for individual apps, with options such as Always ask, Any changes, and Important actions.

Important actions is the default and allows ChatGPT to read from apps automatically while asking before actions that may have a meaningful effect outside ChatGPT, expose sensitive information, or be difficult to undo. App permissions replace the previous Action consent setting where available, while app access, RBAC, and Action control remain separate admin controls.

ChatGPT Sites is now available in preview for eligible ChatGPT Enterprise and Edu workspaces.

Available as a plugin, users can ask Codex to create, iterate on, and deploy lightweight full-stack JavaScript/TypeScript web apps with hosted site URLs, Sign in with ChatGPT access, and data/file storage, while keeping access workspace-internal.

ChatGPT Sites is default off for Enterprise/Edu workspaces - admins and owners can manage enablement and access through workspace settings and RBAC. ChatGPT Sites can be enabled from Workspace settings > Permissions & Roles. Admins and owners can disable published sites from Workspace settings > Sites.

For build, deployment, storage, access, and limitation details, see the Codex Sites developer guide.

Codex now supports Computer Use on Windows in the Codex app. Users with Codex access can use Computer Use to let Codex see, click, and type in Windows applications. With remote control, users can also continue Windows workflows from ChatGPT on iOS or Android, or from Codex on Mac, to check progress, respond to prompts, and steer while away from the desk while the Windows machine remains the host for project files, shell, app server, and local context.

Windows Computer Use and remote control are disabled for Enterprise users by default. To enable, contact your OpenAI account representative to be enrolled into early access.

For customer-hosted GitHub Enterprise Server repositories, workspace admins can set up and publish a GitHub Enterprise app from the ChatGPT app template so Codex can use the workspace-specific connector for Codex Web, Code Review, and Security Review.

We’re rolling out new model, admin, app access, and response capabilities for ChatGPT workspace agents in Enterprise and Edu.

Workspace agents now support:

• GPT-5.5 and reasoning effort controls: When building an agent, creators can choose GPT-5.5 and set the reasoning effort the agent uses. We’ve also improved response speed across agents.
• Role-based publishing permissions: Workspace admins can control which roles can publish agents to the shared workspace directory.
• Guided agent setup: ChatGPT now asks setup questions to help users create useful agents more quickly.
• Speech output: Agents can now create audio files as part of their responses.
• Smarter Slack thread replies: Agents used in Slack can respond to relevant follow-up messages in a thread after the initial mention. Creators can choose whether an agent responds to relevant thread messages or only when it is mentioned.
