What is Google Workspace?
Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) is an extensive collection of applications and services for cloud-based work in companies. It enables device- and location-independent work and communication. It’s an intelligent and efficient all-in-one solution for office work that helps companies improve the collaboration for employees that work from anywhere in the world. With Google Workspace companies can organize their documents and meetings as it has a calendar integration, and teams can have virtual meetings and chats.
What’s New With Workspace ?
Among new features in Google Workspace, users will gain access to the following functions:
Docs, Sheets and Slides now contain “linked previews” that allow users to preview the content of links without leaving the original document. Google says this feature will save time switching between apps and tabs and allow more time to get work done.
“Smart chips” will be embedded in Docs, Sheets and Slides. Therefore, when a user @mentions a person inside a document, a pop-up display appears to add additional context and suggest various actions, for example whether to share the document.
What is included in Google Workspace?
Google Workspace consists of 19 apps, five to connect with people, eight for creating documents, two portals of access, and four management tools.
Components of Google Workspace are apps for communication such as Gmail, Meet, Chat, the appointment management application Google Calendar, the cloud storage service Google Drive, office applications such as Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, administration and archiving apps, and many more.
