When creating an event through Calendar eWidget, you can now select from multiple conferencing options, including Zoho Meeting (audio/video), Zoom, Webex, and Microsoft Teams.
When you create an event using the 'Add to Calendar' option in the email preview, any attachments included in the email will now be automatically added to the event in Calendar eWidget.

For newbies in Connect, you can now add pre-filled sample data to help you get familiar with the platform. Explore tasks, forums, groups, feeds, manuals, town halls, and events, and learn how things work. It’s the fastest way to learn by doing.
Sharing your task has become more flexible than ever. With the new share task section option in Boards, you can collaborate with precision. Whether it’s a checklist, a set of tasks, or simply a discussion section, share only what’s needed with the right people. This is perfect for cross-functional teams and external collaborators.
