* In a few weeks, originality reports will be able to check submissions against a private, school-owned repository of past student work to look for student-to-student matches. Student submissions are automatically added when instructors use originality reports in the Classroom. If admins want to actively manage the repository, they can manually add files or remove documents directly.

* Google will roll out additional tools for admins who want to troubleshoot Classroom issues or gain deeper insights into usage across their domain.

* Google will soon launch Classroom in 10 additional languages including Bengali, Telugu, Marathi, Tamil, and Urdu. The company also confirmed that soon Classroom will support over 54 languages globally, with even more coming in the future.
