What’s changing
Google has introduced a new feature in Google Chat called “board,” designed to act as a virtual bulletin board for teams. This feature aims to improve communication and collaboration by centralizing important information. It allows users to pin and share messages, files, and links for easy access. The board also offers intelligent suggestions to help users quickly find and add relevant resources. It can be displayed alongside the conversation stream or hidden as needed, promoting a more organized workspace.
The “board” feature is intended to streamline common tasks. For example, project managers can use it to create a central repository for all project-related materials. Workgroup leaders can provide a single location for regularly used information and resources. New team members can quickly access onboarding materials and relevant resources to get up to speed.
