''Tools'' are mini-applications that rely on Groove's underlying functionality to disseminate and synchronize their contents with other members' copies of the workspace. Groove provides various tools that can be added to (and removed from) a workspace to customize the functionality of each space (for example a [[calendar]], discussion, [[file sharing]], an [[outliner]], pictures, notepad, sketchpad, [[web browser]], etc.).
Tools that members use in a workspace often drive the nature of the person-to-person collaboration that ensues. In Groove 2007, the SharePoint Files tools can be used to take [[SharePoint 2007]] document libraries offline.<ref>{{Cite web |last=helenclu |date=2022-03-31 |title=SharePoint Workspace does not sync automatically - SharePoint |url=https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/troubleshoot/sync/sharepoint-workspace-not-sync-with-online |access-date=2023-12-12 |website=learn.microsoft.com |language=en-us}}</ref>
Groove 2007 includes a presence subsystem, which keeps track of which users in the contact store are online, and presents the information in the launchbar. If Groove server is used, a user is considered online when they log on to the server. In absence of a server, the ''Device Presence Protocol'' (which comes in different variants for [[LAN]]s and [[Wide area network|WAN]]s) is used. Groove also allows sending instant messages to peers. All session and user information is stored by the Groove client at client side.<ref name="TNMag">{{cite web | url=https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2006.10.intothegroove.aspx | title=Get into the Groove: Solutions for Secure and Dynamic Collaboration | publisher=[[Microsoft]] | work=[[Microsoft TechNet#TechNet Magazine|TechNet Magazine]] | date=October 2006 | access-date=16 June 2013 | last=Chou | first=Yung}}</ref>
