Simply copy emails to Google Workspace: A service is now available for the cloud office package that can import emails from other Workspace accounts, a private Gmail account or IMAP servers. The function is primarily aimed at paying corporate customers as well as institutions and authorities.

Delta migration is also on board, which means that only changed data is copied. This includes new and modified emails. The new function does not replace the existing app for the data migration service in the Admin Console, which can also be used to transfer emails to Workspace.

The new email migration to Google Workspace can be found directly in the Admin Console.

Google is also introducing tabs for documents in Docs. The Workspace word processor does not simply open different files next to each other like a browser, but rather allows users to better structure their projects. The new function can be found in the left sidebar; tabs and sub-tabs can be added with a simple click on +.

Users can then divide documents into individual sections. Labels and icons for tabs or entire tab groups can be customized; tabs can be moved using drag-and-drop. Anyone who shares their files with third parties can create links directly to a tab if desired.

The first users can already use the tabs, the general rollout will start on October 21. Further details on the new function can be found here.
