The update is specifically focused on Spaces and <strong>will make all of the Spaces at your workplace more visible.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gmail search is getting a Spaces boost meaning users will be able to search for Spaces using the Gmail online search function. This means that <strong>when users carry out searches using the Gmail search function, as well as the regular results, they will now see a list of Google Spaces related to the search term<\/strong>. Furthermore, these will not just be Spaces that the user has joined, either. It will present a full list of all public Spaces as well as any private ones the user has been invited to. The update <strong>will also enable users to preview the Spaces before joining them<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google says that the update is an important one as more and more workplaces are taking advantage of the feature to help foster professional communities between their workers, saying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cAs the number of spaces within your organization continues to grow, we\u2019re offering a better way for you to discover and find the exact space you&#8217;re looking for, while also providing a path to join spaces for specific teams, projects, shared interests, and more.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interestingly, we have also seen similar moves from Microsoft in recent weeks with <a href=\"https:\/\/microsoft-teams.en.softonic.com\/articles\/microsoft-teams-now-has-facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Microsoft Teams getting its own version of Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spaces is an old Google app that aimed to muscle in on Slack\u2019s territory as the workplace chat app of choice.
