Windows 10: Introducing Google Workspace

Brink · Oct 6, 2020

For more than a decade, weâve been building products to help people transform the way they work.

Now, work itself is transforming in unprecedented ways. For many of us, work is no longer a physical place we go to, and interactions that used to take place in person are being rapidly digitized. Office workers no longer have impromptu discussions at the coffee machine or while walking to meetings together, and instead have turned their homes into workspaces. Frontline workers, from builders on a construction site to delivery specialists keeping critical supply chains moving, are turning to their phones to help get their jobs done. While doctors treating patients and local government agencies engaging with their communities are accelerating how they can use technology to deliver their services.

Amidst this transformation, time is more fragmentedâsplit between work and personal responsibilitiesâand human connections are more difficult than ever to establish and maintain.

These are unique challenges, but they also represent a significant opportunity to help people succeed in this highly distributed and increasingly digitized world. With the right solution in place, people are able to collaborate more easily, spend time on what matters most, and foster human connections, no matter where they are.

That solution is Google Workspace: everything you need to get anything done, now in one place. Google Workspace includes all of the productivity apps you know and loveâGmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Meet, and many more. Whether you're returning to the office, working from home, on the frontlines with your mobile device, or connecting with customers, Google Workspace is the best way to create, communicate, and collaborate.

With Google Workspace, weâre introducing three major developments:

a new, deeply integrated user experience that helps teams collaborate more effectively, frontline workers stay connected, and businesses power new digital customer experiences

a new brand identity that reflects our ambitious product vision and the way our products work together

new ways to get started with solutions tailored to the unique needs of our broad range of customers

New user experience

At Next OnAir in July, we announced a better home for work. One that thoughtfully brings together core tools for communication and collaborationâlike chat, email, voice and video calling, and content management and collaborationâinto a single, unified experience to ensure that employees have access to everything they need in one place. This integrated experience is now generally available to all paying customers of Google Workspace.

In the coming months weâll also be bringing this new experience to consumers to help them do things like set up a neighborhood group, manage a family budget, or plan a celebration using integrated tools like Gmail, Chat, Meet, Docs, and Tasks.

We've already made it easier for business users to connect with customers and partners using guest access features in Chat and Drive, and in the coming weeks, youâll be able to dynamically create and collaborate on a document with guests in a Chat room. This makes it easy to share content and directly work together with those outside your organization, and ensure that everyone has access and visibility to the same information.

When every minute you spend at work is a minute you could be helping your daughter with her homework, efficiency is everything. Weâve been working hard to add helpful features that make it easier to get your most important work done. For example, in Docs, Sheets, and Slides, you can now preview a linked file without having to open a new tabâwhich means less time spent moving between apps, and more time getting work done. And beginning today, when you @mention someone in your document, a smart chip will show contact details, including for those outside your organization, provide context and even suggest actions like adding that person to Contacts or reaching out via email, chat or video.

By connecting you to relevant content and people right in Docs, Sheets and Slides, Google Workspace helps you get more done from where you already are.

We also recognize that reinforcing human connections is even more important when people are working remotely and interacting with their customers digitally. Itâs what keeps teams together and helps build trust and loyalty with your customers.

Back in July, we shared that we're bringing Meet picture-in-picture to Gmail and Chat, so you can actually see and hear the people youâre working with, while youâre collaborating. In the coming months, weâll be rolling out Meet picture-in-picture to Docs, Sheets, and Slides, too. This is especially powerful for customer interactions where youâre pitching a proposal or walking through a document. Where before, you could only see the file you were presenting, now youâll get all those valuable nonverbal cues that come with actually seeing someoneâs face.

And because we know many companies are implementing a mix of remote and in-person work environments, Meet supports a variety of devices with the best of Google AI built-in. From helpful and inclusive Series One hardware kits that provide immersive sound and effortlessly scalability, to native integrations with Chromecast and Nest Smart Displays that make your work experience more enjoyableâwhether that's at home or in the office.

New brand identity

10 years ago, when many of our products were first developed, they were created as individual apps that solved distinct challengesâlike a better email with Gmail, or a new way for individuals to collaborate together with Docs. Over time, our products have become more integrated, so much so that the lines between our apps have started to disappear.

Our new Google Workspace brand reflects this more connected, helpful, and flexible experience, and our icons will reflect the same. In the coming weeks, you will see new four-color icons for Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Meet, and our collaborative content creation tools like Docs, Sheets, Slides that are part of the same family. They represent our commitment to building integrated communication and collaboration experiences for everyone, all with helpfulness from Google.

We are also bringing Google Workspace to our education and nonprofit customers in the coming months. Education customers can continue to access our tools via G Suite for Education, which includes Classroom, Assignments, Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Meet. G Suite for Nonprofits will continue to be available to eligible organizations through the Google for Nonprofits program.

New ways to get started

Simplicity, helpfulness, flexibilityâthese guiding principles apply both to the way people experience our products and to the way we do business. All of our customers share a need for transformative solutionsâwhether to power remote work, support frontline workers, create immersive digital experiences for their own customers, or all of the aboveâbut their storage, management, and security and compliance needs often vary greatly.

In order to provide more choice and help customers get the most out of Google Workspace, we are evolving our editions to provide more tailored offerings. Our new editions for smaller businesses are aimed at those often looking to make fast, self-serviced purchases. Our editions for larger enterprises are designed to help organizations that have more complex implementation needs and often require technical assistance over the course of a longer buying and deployment cycle.

You can learn more about these new offerings on our pricing page. And existing customers can read more here.

Empowering our customers and partners

You, our customers and our users, are our inspiration as we work together to navigate the change ahead. This is an incredibly challenging time, but we believe itâs also the beginning of a new approach to working together. One that is more productive, collaborative, and impactful.

Google Workspace embodies our vision for a future where work is more flexible, time is more precious, and enabling stronger human connections becomes even more important. Itâs a vision weâve been building toward for more than a decade, and one weâre excited to bring to life together with you.

Windows Ink Workspace - Reset/Clearing Contents Programmatically

Hi Robert,

Windows Ink Workspace is part of the system icons. Just like the Start button, the process of Windows Ink Workspace is not going to present in Task Manager. If do not want your users to use the Windows Ink Workspace, we recommend that you disable it. You
can disable Windows Ink Workspace by following these steps:

Click the Windows logo (Start button).

Click the gear icon (Settings).

Select Personalization.

On the left pane, choose Taskbar.

Under Notification area, click Turn system icons on or off.

Locate Windows Ink Workspace, and then click the slider to turn it off.

You will now notice that the Windows Ink Workspace is gone from the Taskbar.

If you still want to have a function that will allow you to automatically reset or clear the contents of Windows Ink Workspace, we recommend that you post your suggested function using the Feedback Hub like what was mentioned by
Erika Aro so that our Engineers can look into it and release your suggested feature on the next update of Windows 10.

Regards.
