FULL STORY
======================================================================

Google is rolling out a new calendar overview directly in newly opened 
browser tabs for Workspace users in a bid to get them quicker access to 
information theyre likely to need. 

The new tool will provide immediate access to schedules and meetings as soon 
as workers open Chrome , with opens to view their Google Calendar as well as 
check details, locations and join video calls. 

As part of the update , Google has also included another tile for Drive, 
designed to surface recently accessed documents across apps like Docs, Sheets 
and Slides. This minor Google Workspace update is actually a big one 

By removing just one or two steps and compiling glanceable and interactive 
information on the Chrome homepage, Google has effectively eliminated the 
need for workers to open their Workspace apps in some circumstances. 

The update forms part of a broader set of enhancements to Google Workspace 
and Chrome, all with an eye on efficiency and productivity. Enterprises can 
also set up managed-site shortcuts, allowing departments to quickly access 
sites like Salesforce without employees having to configure it themselves. 

Moreover, Google is adding more control for IT teams with profile-level 
security policies. Acknowledging that, for many, the browser is the endpoint, 
especially for those using Googles office software , the company has had to 
adapt to hybridized workforces and BYOD policies to ensure that bookmarks, 
extensions and browser data remain separate for work accounts. 

The new Calendar and Drive views in the new tab page as well as 
enterprise-configured managed-site shortcuts are rolling out now, and further 
security controls will become generally available later this year. More from
