The month that was at Zoho Workplace | February 2021

Dear community,

Here's a round-up of all the features and updates across the Zoho Workplace suite last month:

Reminders pane in Mail for quick access

Tracking your reminders or wondering if and when you had set one is not something you should be doing. An all-new Reminders pane centralizes all your reminders in one place, with options to add and organize. Learn more.


New additions to eWidget
 
We are constantly working towards tighter integration of Workplace apps with other Zoho and third-party apps. In the same spirit, this month we have added new extensions to Mail's eWidget. Check it out.

Call upon the WorkDrive genie
 
Here's some magic: open your WorkDrive files on your desktop apps and work on them. For example, you can open and edit files such as documents, images, and videos with Microsoft Word, CorelDRAW, and Adobe Premiere Pro, respectively, on your desktop. WorkDrive Genie is now in it's beta and available only for Windows.  Try now or learn more.

Writer inches closer to becoming a linguistic expert!
 
Zoho Writer now has better language skills, and knows how not to annoy you with red squiggly lines for your name! With organization dictionary that automatically adds employee names, smarter spell check, ability to identify incomplete sentences and number inconsistencies, Writer is now truly an expert! Know more.

New features to make your spreadsheets look and perform better
 
Who would have thought that spreadsheets would be enjoyable? But we at Zoho, want them to be! So we added a huge list of useful features like including an image in a cell, new functions, and more that will make handling spreadsheet data a breeze! Know more.

Who's really responsible for your account security?
 
It's actually a collective responsibility, and as an individual, ask yourself how secure your passwords are! Can you say with all certainty that #myPasswordIsSecure? Tell me more!

Which of these is your favourite? :)
