Plus, the new preview pane highlights key details—like the sender, subject, and timeline—so you get the big picture in seconds.

Export tasks from ToDo

Effortlessly Export all your tasks—both Group and Personal—from Zoho ToDo with a single click using the Export option under More Actions.

Zoho Cliq

View participants while sharing or presenting

Now you can see participants at the bottom when you share your screen, present slides, or collaborate on a whiteboard.

Zoho Cliq integrates with Kuando Busylight

Zoho Show now lets you pull client details directly from Zoho CRM into your presentations. No more manual entry. Just select the fields you need, and your slides update with the right information.

Zoho Trident

Improve email clarity with native spell checker

Previously, you could use the Zia spell checker while composing an email to ensure that your email goes out error-free. With this update you can now also access the Windows native spell checker to spot errors in your spelling and even suggesting replacements. (Available on Windows)

Alerts for low or muted device audio

Discover when you've gone silent before others do. Trident will now alert you if your device microphone or speaker volume is too low or muted during calls and meetings. (Available on Windows)

Stay aligned across time zones

Both the scheduled and original time zones are now shown while creating and editing events, so you can schedule meetings without second-guessing the timing. (Available on Mac)

Keep your calendar focused

Choose which of your personal, group, and app calendars you want to see, hide the ones you don’t need, and keep your schedule clean and distraction-free. (Available on Mac and Windows)

You can now create events that include Google Meet links automatically, so you spend less time setting up calls and more time connecting. (Available on Mac)

Get more context for CRM events

Check-in notes are now displayed right in CRM event details, helping you capture richer insights and remember every key detail from your interactions. (Available on Mac)

Save emails as .eml or .html files

You can now save individual emails in HTML or EML formats. HTML files let you view emails offline in a browser, while EML files preserve the full email structure for importing into other email clients when required and to keep an independent backup of critical emails. This helps you archive, share, and manage emails more effectively. (Available on Mac and Windows) 

Steer clear of emails with suspicious URLs

A new security warning now highlights emails with unsafe links or suspicious URLs. This alert helps you identify risky messages and decide whether to open them, enhancing your email security and protecting against phishing or malicious content. (Available on Mac)

Enhanced editing, navigation, and integrations in the iOS app

Edit smarter with image resizing and shortcuts. Navigate documents with ease, open them from Zoho WorkDrive or Zoho Cliq, and convert PDFs to templates.
