Welcome

Welcome to Getting Started with Groove, for Groove Virtual Office version 3.1. This guide directs you in the tasks essential to using Groove effectively. By completing all tasks in sequence you will learn how to:

Start activities in a workspace.

You can create workspaces that include a collection of productivity tools, such as Discussion, Calendar, Notepad, and Web Links. You access these workspaces in the Groove Workspace Explorer.
Start synchronizing files in a Windows folder.

You can create a synchronized folder in your Windows file system, and then invite other users to share the contents of this folder. In Groove, these synchronized folders are known as "file sharing workspaces."
