GOOGLE has announced an alteration to the user interface for individuals and companies using Gmail.

The new orientation for Gmail started to roll out to users today.

Google has made slight alterations to the Gmail menu system for Chat, Mail, Spaces, and Meet.

The new layout is called “integrated view”.

Google published a support blog on the new interface.

“Google’s Mail, Chat, Spaces, and Meet apps are now integrated into the Gmail main menu. The main menu of each app is displayed in a collapsible panel. You can hide or show the collapsible panel at any time.”

Previously, apps in the Google Workspace were aligned in a single left-side column with collapsable tabs.

The new UI adds a skinny rail column even further left.

Hovering over each app gives a small preview of the latest developments in your network on that app and double-clicking will open up a full-screen experience.

The new rail is called the Quick Settings menu and it can be customized to your needs.

Click the Settings gear, then click “Customize” in the “Apps in Gmail” tab.

The new interface also makes better use of notification bubbles and pop-up windows for Google Chat.

Messages can be previewed by hovering over the notification bubble.

Respond in a pop-out or directly in the chat tab by clicking the bubble.

Google’s slight changes likely won’t make or break commitments to the G-Suite service.

Starting today and rolling out over the next 15 days (or longer) the new UI will become the default and automatically switch over for users.
