What's New in Workplace? April 2022

All the latest Workplace product announcements and feature releases.


This month, we're excited to announce collections, a new way to share and organize content from your Knowedge Library. Read on to learn about collections, as well new educational materials to help you setup and use Workplace integrations with tools like Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, Zoom and more.
Create collections in Knowledge Library

Create collections in Knowledge Library

Collections allow Knowledge Library admins to organize Knowledge Library categories, subcategories, related files and links together. They can then be pinned to groups, making Knowledge Library content easier to discover and engage with. For example, your new hires might need to access content from a few different Knowledge Library categories to complete their onboarding. Rather than sending them to all these different locations, you can organize categories and subcategories together into a new hire collection which can then be pinned to your new hire Workplace group.
Only Knowledge Library admins can create collections, but just like categories, admins can give anyone in the organization access to edit or view a collection. Any group admin can also pin a collection to that group as long as they have access to view that collection.

People viewing collections will only be able to see specific categories if they've been given access to the view them. They will not see categories that they don't have access to.
