Frequently Asked Questions

Steegle.One is a secure Google Workspace intranet built on Google Sites, bringing news, knowledge, people, and tools into one place so teams (office or remote) stay aligned and productive.

We built Steegle.One to work exclusively with Google Workspace and its authentication protocols. The actual intranet site sits on Google Sites with its’ secure collaboration, and the Steegle gadgets (People, News, Share and Heroes) all built in Google Apps Script, to take advantage of the Google Workspace single-sign-on experience, and provide seamless access to your data.

Google Workspace already offers a vast range of online, powerful collaboration tools, that include:

1. Real-time collaboration in Google Docs for document collaboration

2. Project collaboration in Google Sheets with its new Gantt-chart tool, Timelines, that allows your team to collaborate on a project

3. Web collaboration in Google Sites so you can collaborate online, for content collaboration, with its collaborative software editor

4. Online task management with Google Tasks in Spaces and to do lists in Google Keep

5. Visual collaboration with Google Slides and Google Drawings

6. Group collaboration in Google Groups and its collaborative inbox feature, and Google Calendar with shared calendars, and group chat in Google Spaces and Google Chat (formerly Hangouts)

7. Video chat and web-conferencing in Google Meet

8. Whiteboard with Jamboard or Google Drawings

Steegle.One does not intend to replace or supplant these collaborative features but provide a web-based collaboration solution to bring all these tools together in One place and fill the gaps Google Sites cannot provide.

None: Steegle.One only sends the licence keys and a monthly user count to Steegle, to check the validity of your licences.

Steegle cannot see anything on your new intranet (unless you choose to provide access for support) and it’s not possible for Steegle to see any of the gadgets’ content without an organised screen sharing session.

Steegle cannot see any personally identifiable information (PII) unless you choose to explicitly share this with a Steegle staff member.

Google Sites does not allow for any personalization (so the intranet cannot show different information to different people) and Google Workspace itself does not offer any social networking.

Steegle.One intranet portal can fill some of those missing features with:the Heroes employee recognition system,Google Sites pages for Affinity Groups with dynamic member listing and dedicated internal communication news channel,and Team pages for departments and locations with location-specific information.

Naturally. Content lives in Google Drive and Google Sites; you embed Docs, Sheets, Slides, Calendar; Google Identity (Google login) provides SSO—no extra logins, no custom code.

1. Faster findability and fewer “where’s the doc?” moments

2. Stronger knowledge management over your existing Drive

3. Smoother collaboration and higher engagement

4. One, unified hub for teams
