If you are a GrooveIT! for Outlook V1.0, you already know (and use) Groove Email and Contact tools provided with GrooveIT! to easily manage your published emails and contacts. GrooveIT ! for Outlook V2.0 now provides new Groove tools to manage Tasks and RSS articles. The Email and Contact tools have also been improved.

Here is the upgrade process for these tools. You will not lose any of your data during the upgrade process. The existing Email and Contact tools will be automatically updated and will continue to be effective. All you have to do is enjoy the improved features.

• From Groove launchbar, create a new “template”workspace. Choose the template called “GrooveIT! space for Emails” (or “GrooveIT! space for Contacts”) and name it “temp space”
• Open the workspace, and navigate to the Groove 1.0 Email tool or Contact tool, you need to migrate. Check the GrooveIT! version by clicking “About this tool” in the “Help” menu. The version number should be “1.0.0.0”
• We advise you to backup data stored in the tool before migrating as a precaution .... Click “Export all Entries” in the “File” menu, then “Binary XML”. A window pops up. Choose “Export all entries in tool”. Choose a filename and click OK.
• In the « File » menu, click « Replace Design ». A window pops up. Choose the workspace created at the beginning of this process (“temp space”). Choose “GrooveIT! Emails »  (or « GrooveIT ! Contacts ») and click OK. A confirmation window pops up. Click « OK »
• You should now have a V2.0 tool. To check, click on “About this tool” in the “Help” menu. The version number should be “2.0.0.0”

Nota Bene : This migration process works for both Groove Virtual Office and Microsoft Office Groove 2007. Nevertheless, there are some minor differences in the menu labels between these 2 versions of Groove.
