SharePoint Workspace 2010

SharePoint Workspace (Groove)

SharePoint Workspace (successor to Groove 2007) is Microsoft’s collaboration application for individuals and groups to share project information. The collaborative areas are called Workspaces that allow automatic synchronisation from anyone, anytime and anywhere.

Microsoft acquired Groove Networks in 2005 which had been originally developed by the creator of Lotus Notes Ray Ozzie.

You're either invited to join a Workspace or you invite.

After setting up your account the program starts with the Launchbar, an interface from which to launch Workspaces. The two Tabs on the Launchbar are:

Home:

• Workspaces
• Actions

View:

• View

The Workspace Tabs and their Groups are:

Home:

• New
• Clipboard
• Documents
• Track
• Go To

Workspace:

• Tools
• Invite
• Communicate

View:

• Show/Hide
• Sort
• Arrange
• Window

I call it the Office Button, some are calling it Backstage (Either way it’s the old File Menu).
