You can use the meeting card on the Cloud Search homepage to prepare for your day's events. The format of the card varies depending on when you view it, in relation to the start of your meetings in Google Calendar. For example, you see different options if a meeting hasn't started yet, rather than when it's over. You won't see a card for meetings you decline.

Why Cloud Search recommends particular content
Google Cloud Search recommends content to you based on information from your Google Workspace services. You see content related to the Calendar event, such as:
- Documents attached to the event
- Documents mentioned in the meeting description
- Documents related to the meeting
- Emails about the meeting from invited guests
You can only open content you have permissions to see. Cloud Search follows the same sharing model used across Google Workspace services. That means you can only open content you have access to, such as documents:
- Owned by you
- Shared with you directly
- Shared with a group you belong to
- Shared with everyone in your organization
If someone attaches a private document to the Calendar event, or links to a private document from the meeting description, you see a Lock . You can't open a private document until the owner shares it with you. Learn how to request permission to open the file.
