Navigating together in a workspace

Groove's "Navigate Together" option lets workspace members move in unison among workspace tools. When you select "Navigate Together," all other members who have this option selected go to whichever tools you select. Likewise, you go to whichever tool other members select.

Select Options - Navigate Together to enable or disable the option. A checkmark displays next to the command when the option is enabled.

Navigate Together characteristics

Navigate Together works in Groove as follows:

Only members who have Navigate Together selected at the same time navigate together. Thus, if other members already have this option selected when you select it, you immediately navigate to their location in the workspace. For example, if everyone using Navigate Together were looking at a Web Links tool, you would automatically navigate to this tool too.
All members who have this option enabled are listed in the Workspace Members panel under "Navigating Together."
You can have different settings for Navigate Together in different workspaces. For example, you can have Navigate Together checked in one workspace, but then go to a different workspace in which the feature is unchecked.
Navigate Together stays turned on for a workspace either until you disable the option or close the Groove Workspace Explorer window.

Navigate Together works only with the following actions in a workspace:

Opening or closing the chat pane.
Navigating among tools by clicking tool tabs.
Clicking links in a Web Links tool.
Navigating among pictures in a Pictures tool.
Navigating among sketches in a Sketchpad tool.
Navigating in a Calendar tool.
Opening folders in a Files tool.
Navigating among selected note pages in a Notepad tool.

Navigating on your own while Navigate Together is turned on

To navigate on your own while Navigate Together is turned on, shift-click instead of just clicking. You may decide to do this if you want to work briefly with a different tool on your own.

The Groove Web Links tool has it own navigate together capabilities. For more information about this functionality, see help on the Groove Web Links tool.
