Creating a Groove Workspace

A Groove workspace is a special site template that provides you with tools to share and update documents and to keep people informed about the current status of the documents. After you create a workspace, you can use Files and Discussion Tools to share files, exchange messages, and collaborate with a team. In a Groove workspace, you can point to the Files or Discussion tab to display the contacts currently using a tool.
