Messages/Chat- One of the fantastic things about Groups is you can launch a group chat/message with either all participants of a Group or select members.
This is particularly beneficial when you have an announcement to make or require to rapidly work together on an item/issue.
Events- A feature probably not used usually enough in Groups is Occasions. Inside the group you can develop events that just participants can see & RSVP for.
Simply click on the "Events" tab to the left and then "Create Event" & the lightbox below will load to develop your event.
Files- Inside Groups you can share data of any type of kind in addition to produce Files which Group members can include in & collaborate on.
