- Updates to Interface, spring 2022: Google will start rolling out a new "integrated view" to Gmail on Feb 28, 2022. It will be optional until approximately June 2022. Learn more about integrated view from Google here, https://support.google.com/mail/answer/11555490?hl=en.
- When the new view is available to you, you will see a pop-up inviting you to "Try the new Gmail view". Click "Try it now" to switch (or "Dismiss" if you are not ready yet).
 - Note: If you have disabled Chat/Meet or moved Chat to the right instead of the left, you may not see the option to try the new view.
- The new view will allow you to collapse the panel on the left
 Google provided this example, with the Mail app chosen and the collapsible panel open.
 Here is a picture with that side panel collapsed, giving you more room to work within the selected app (Mail, Chat, Spaces, and Meet by default).
- Snooze emails
- You can hide a message from your inbox until a set date and time using the Snooze feature. Read more about Snoozing an email here.
- Please note: You have to have conversation view turned on in order to use the Snooze feature.
- Nudges
- Nudges will bring an email to the top of your inbox with a suggestion to reply (to an email you haven't responded to) or follow up (on an email you sent which hasn't received a response). Read more about turning off nudges here.

- Google Apps Integration in the Sidebar
- Google has been expanding the number of apps you can view to the right of your inbox window. Currently, you can access Calendar, Keep, Tasks, or Contacts by clicking on the small corresponding icon. Google Maps is supposed to be added to this list in the near future.
To learn more about the options that are available - like snoozing an email, using Smart Reply, and viewing your Calendar or Tasks - we suggest this Help Center article or this video from Teacher's Tech. *Image from https://www.howtogeek.com/356781/the-8-best-features-in-the-new-gmail/ |
