Google Rebrands G Suite As Google Workspace

Google is remodeling its suite of collaborative office products that include Gmail, Drive, and Calendar, aiming to better integrate the platform and redesign some of its most recognized logos. Rebranding G Suite as Google Workspace, Google is also adding features that will help streamline collaboration as more and more companies are extending work-from-home, during the pandemic. 

The Google Workspace brings together chat, messaging, meetings, email, docs, voice and video calling, and content management – all built with Google security, into a single, unified experience. Workspace offers a fully integrated user experience, whether you’re in an office, working from home, on the frontlines, or engaging with customers.

Google is also introducing a new user experience with many new features already available while some will be coming soon. The two features available as of today are:

• Linked previews: Preview the content of a link in other Google apps without leaving the original document.
• Smart chips in Docs, Sheets, and Slides: Introducing the “smart chips” that display contact information when somebody is @-mentioned. A popup will display details providing context and even suggest actions like sharing the document.  

Others features that will be launched in the coming weeks:

• Doc creation in rooms: Google Workspace will enable users to dynamically create and collaborate on a document (Docs, Sheets, Slides) within a room in Chat, without ever having to switch tabs or tools.  
• Meet picture-in-picture across Docs, Sheets, and Slides: Users can see and hear the people they’re working with while collaborating.
