What is a workspace?
A workspace is an online place where you can save, access, and share documents and files. Use it to group related information for work, school, or personal projects. Sharing is easy – all you need is a person’s e-mail address and you can invite them to your workspace. You decide if they can edit or simply review. You can access your workspace from any computer with an Internet connection and a Web browser. Who is it for?
Anyone who uses Microsoft Office can benefit from this service. If you answer ‘yes’ to any of the following questions, this service is for you:

Do you save information on a flash drive or send yourself documents via e-mail to work on later?
Do you need to access work files when away from your office?
Do you need to access school documents when away from your desk (at the library, home on break, etc.)?
Do you share documents via e-mail and then manually merge all the comments later?
Do you use e-mail to coordinate and share information with your sports clubs, PTA, study group, etc?
Are you planning an event and coordinating with multiple people or vendors?
