Adding Tools to a Workspace

Like many other Office programs, Groove allows you to add functionality. Groove already comes with the Files and Discussion Tools. You can add other tools, such as InfoPath Forms, Issue Tracking, or SharePoint Files. The InfoPath Tool allows you to collect and view data. The Issue Tracking Tool lets you report on and track the status of issues and incidents. If you have access to an Office or Windows SharePoint Server, the SharePoint Files Tool allows you to synchronize files on a workspace with those on a SharePoint site, document library, or folder.
