Try out the new Gmail view<\/strong> and refreshed my page. <\/p>\nAs Richard writes, the change isn\u2019t radical. There is a new color scheme that I rather like and a few other interface tweaks. The main change, however, is the left-hand side panel \u2014 now, the two<\/em> side panels. <\/p>\nPreviously, you had a single panel that gave you access to a menu of your various Gmail categories and labels (such as the Inbox, Starred, Trash, etc.). By clicking on the three-line icon in the upper left (also known as a \u201chamburger\u201d), you could tweak this panel to show either icons and labels or just icons. But now, Google has added another side panel that gives you immediate access to several apps: Mail, Chat, Spaces, and Meet.<\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/source><\/picture>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n
A new side panel offers access to the Mail, Chat, Spaces, and Meet apps.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\nIf you feel that two side panels is a bit much (as I do, especially on a laptop display), you can make the one with the categories disappear entirely by clicking on the hamburger icon in the upper-left corner. <\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/source><\/picture>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n
Click the three parallel lines in the top-left corner to make the categories panel disappear.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\nIf you want to go to a different category or label in your Gmail, you can find them by hovering your cursor over the Mail icon in the new panel. <\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/source><\/picture>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n
Hovering your cursor over the Mail icon will bring up your categories menu.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\nWant your second panel back? Click on the hamburger icon again.<\/p>\n
Get rid of the apps panel<\/h2>\n And what if you don\u2019t really use Google Chat or Meet? It\u2019s actually very easy to get rid of their icons \u2014 and that extra side panel as well:<\/p>\n
\nSelect Settings > Customize<\/strong>.<\/li>\nYou\u2019ll be invited to choose which apps to use in Gmail. Uncheck Google Chat<\/strong> and Google Meet<\/strong> and click on Done<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/source><\/picture>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n
Get rid of the new apps panel by unchecking these two boxes.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\nThat\u2019s it! You\u2019re now back to a single familiar side panel. And just as before, the hamburger icon will simply toggle between a side panel with icons and labels or just icons.<\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/source><\/picture>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n
You now have the new Gmail without the apps panel.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\nAnd if you\u2019re just tired of the whole thing, for now you can go back to the way things were by clicking on Settings > Go back to the original view<\/strong>. How long that<\/em> option will be available is up to Google.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nSource: https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/23290550\/gmail-new-view-panel-meet-chat-how-to<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Source: When The Verge\u2019s Richard Lawler reported that Google was rolling out its newly stylized version of Gmail for the web, I decided I wanted to take a look as well.
