Workspace Explorer startup options

Email options

Check "Send email invitations using Microsoft Outlook" if you want Groove to always use this email program for creating and sending invitations initiated from Groove. For example, if you check this option, Groove will open and use Outlook when you send a workspace invitation.

View or modify product update settings

Groove Networks periodically updates the Groove software. Depending on your product update settings, Groove may prompt you to download these updates. You can modify these settings to control how and when Groove prompts you to download updates.

Note: Your workplace or organization may have instituted a device policy that prohibits modifying update settings. For more information, see your Groove administrator.
