Find your way around Open Suite

Open Suite uses one sign-in for the portal and the connected apps. The top navigation is the fastest way to move between tools.

Use the dashboard

The home page collects your current work in one place:

  • Docs shows recent documents.
  • Calendar shows upcoming meetings with join links.
  • Meet shows meeting rooms and lets you start a call.
  • NextCloud shows recent files.

Open Office apps

Click Office in the top navigation, then choose the app you need.

Office menu with document and file apps marked

Use these entries most often:

  • Documents for text documents.
  • Spreadsheets for tables and calculations.
  • Presentations for slide decks.
  • Files for folders, uploads, sharing, and downloads.
  • Contacts for people and address books.
  • Projects for project work.

Pick the right tool

Use this quick map when you know the job but not the app:

Open the other tools

The remaining top-level links open the other parts of the workspace:

  • Meet opens video meetings.
  • Chat opens team chat.
  • Tables opens structured data tables.
  • Wiki opens shared knowledge pages.
  • Calendar opens your schedule.

If a connected app asks you to sign in again, return to the portal and open the app from the navigation. That refreshes the single sign-on session.
