Update Summary
Data regions support for Google Apps Script is now generally available. It keeps script storage and execution within the selected geographic region for eligible editions and follows existing Admin console data region policies.
Update Details
Security
- Supports data sovereignty and compliance by keeping covered Apps Script data at rest and runtime processing within designated geographic regions.
- Non-regionalized Apps Script services will be disabled starting in September 2026 for organizations that enable the Drive and Docs disablement toggle in Data Regions advanced settings.
New Features
- Data regions support for Google Apps Script is now generally available.
- Apps Script now stores script project files, code definitions, manifest configurations, trigger metadata, and key-value data such as Property Service and Cache Service within the selected region.
- Script executions and container-bound automations are processed within the selected region.
Hints
- Admins manage this through Admin console > Data > Compliance > Data Regions, with advanced settings available for allowing or disabling features that process data outside designated regions.
- There is no end-user setting; script creation and execution automatically follow the user's assigned data region policy.
- Enterprise Plus and Frontline Plus provide in-region data storage and processing; Education Standard and Education Plus provide in-region data storage only.
