Course Overview

What this course is designed to develop

This beginner course teaches knowledge workers, team leads, and small-business owners to use Google Workspace as an integrated system rather than six separate apps. You will learn the collaboration mechanics most people miss (suggesting mode, named versions, @-mentions, smart chips, and comment assignments), set sharing permissions and link access deliberately so nothing leaks, and connect Docs, Slides, Sheets, Drive, Gmail, Calendar, Meet, and Chat into repeatable workflows. Each lesson is built around named features, exact menu paths, real numbers, and a worked example you apply to a live document, drive, or calendar as you go.
