Gmail Is Getting An Upgrade And Redesign, Here Are Six Changes We Know About<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Google sent an email to G Suite administrators this past week letting them know that Gmail on the web is getting an upgrade and redesign. Google didn\u2019t reveal all, but here are the changes we know about.<\/span><\/p>\n

A new look<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Gmail\u2019s visual presentation will be tweaked to bring it more in line with Google\u2019s Material Design philosophy. The Verge has screenshots showing some of the design changes. Gmail\u2019s fonts are also changing from Arial to Product Sans for interface elements and Roboto for email and messages. The new fonts were designed by Google to make text easier to read on mobile devices. Quartz takes a deep dive into the fonts for those who are interested.<\/span><\/p>\n

A sidebar for Google\u2019s apps<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The new Gmail lets you open up a sidebar that can show Google\u2019s Calendar, note-taking app Keep, or to-do list app Tasks. If you spend email time coordinating your schedule with others, the apps sidebar is going to be very useful.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nSmart Reply<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Inbox by Google\u2019s Smart Reply system is coming to Gmail. Smart Reply suggests three responses you might send based on the content of an email you received. You can simply choose one of the three and hit send, tweak it as desired, or ignore all three and hand craft your own reply. Google uses machine learning to tune Smart Reply\u2019s suggestions to your writing style, so the more you use it, the more useful it gets.<\/span><\/p>\n

Snooze an email<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Snooze is another feature coming to Gmail from Inbox. You tag an email with a time stamp and it disappears from your inbox and reappears at the time you\u2019ve chosen. Snooze can be a godsend if you get a lot of email, receive one when you don\u2019t have time to answer, and forget about it when the incoming flood pushes it off your screen. You can tag the email with a convenient time and it will be right there at the top of your inbox when you have the freedom to respond. Snooze can also bring the email back when you\u2019re at a location which is useful for setting aside personal email for when you get home from work.<\/span><\/p>\n

Confidential email<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Google is implementing a feature that lets the sender limit what the recipient can do with an email. An email can be locked which prevents the recipient from copying, forwarding, downloading or printing it. Email can also be tagged and eliminated from both the recipient\u2019s inbox and the sender\u2019s sent list after a specified time period. Finally, an email can be locked behind a two-factor authentication process to ensure that only the intended recipient can read it. There are a number of questions about how this system will work in practice, and it\u2019s expected Google will address these issues when the feature is closer to release.<\/span><\/p>\n

A choice of layouts<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The new Gmail offers users a choice of three layouts for their Gmail screen. The default layout highlights attachments while a \u201ccomfortable view\u201d does away with the attachment highlight. There\u2019s also a \u201ccompact view\u201d that is similar to Gmail\u2019s current layout for users who don\u2019t want to change.<\/span><\/p>\n

Readers who want to get their hands on the new Gmail as soon as possible will be asked to join an early adopter\u2019s program which hasn\u2019t opened yet. If you\u2019re interested, you should also know Google warns that some Chrome extensions for Gmail might not work with the new version.<\/span><\/p>\n

Google has outlined a lot of changes for Gmail and almost everybody should find some of them useful. If none of these new features interest you, don\u2019t give up hope. Google says more changes will be announced in the coming weeks. Stay tuned.<\/span><\/p>\n
