Google unveiled a new Gmail design this week, overhauling its free email service with new features and a fresh look. Beyond the new design, smart replies, and email snooze features that regular Gmail users will enjoy, Google is adding in some smart business-focused features designed to improve productivity, security, and manage the sharing of emails.
According to a press release from Google, the newest version of Gmail features improvements aimed at three categories:
Two of the highlights of the newest version includes:
Head over to your Gmail account on the web, click the gear icon on the top-right of their Gmail page, and selecting “Try the new Gmail”.
The update also brings several security features like confidential mode, which allows you to add two-factor authentication and/or set expiration dates for individual emails. Phishing alerts are also now highlighted in a much clearer way, with bold red boxes that are harder to overlook. There’s also a new Tasks integration to make your to-do lists easier to manage alongside your emails.
The company said its recently-introduced protections in Gmail have helped block 99.9% of business email compromise threats, and the new Gmail has added to this with a “confidential mode”.
This lets users protect sensitive content in emails by creating expiration dates, revoking sent messages, and adding additional authentication via text message to view an email.
