Google has done it again. Gmail,
the Email service of Google has released a new compose window that works
like a chat window. Google on 30th October announced the release of
the Rapid Release Track service, which is being billed as a new way
to compose and reply to the message.
An innovation from Google, the new
compose template has attracted the attention of Email users. Read on
to know better and prepare for the change.
How does it work?
Wish to try this new service. The
Google apps domain needs to be on the Rapid Release track. You can use
a free Gmail account instead.
1.) To activate this service click
on the compose button and scroll to the link next to the Labels button.
Click on the links next to the label button too.
2.)
3.) You will now notice that the
window thoroughly designed. It is almost similar to a chat window that
has various innovative features as minimize and maximize etc. You may
miss the old toolbar for its ease of operation, but it is more of because
one has got used to the old design. However, you will notice that the
new compose window retains some features of the old compose window too.
4.) Message sharing fields (recipient
column) has also undergone a change too. Keyboard shortcuts have been
added to these fields. This essentially means that when you type a recepient’s
name or email address, the person’s profile information, and option
for contacting the person become visible.
Once the contact is selected, the
same can be dragged and dropped between these three fields.
Formatting redefined
1.) Formatting option has also been
modified and the same is now available at the bottom of the compose
window. When you click the same, the formatting toolbar expands. You
will find the file attachment tool, link insertion and image insertion
tool alongside too. Additional tools as emoticons and invitation insertion
are also in the pipeline and will figure soon in the new compose window
template.
Some other insertions
2.) You will find some other additional
tools on the bottom right side too. These are additional tools for discarding
draft, printing draft and a spell check too.
After you have familiarized yourself
with the new interface, it is time to begin typing a message. You will
be surprised to find a auto save option in the new compose interface.
In case there is a pause of more
than two seconds in typing a draft, the typed material gets auto saved
In the old mode of the compose window, the message needed to be saved
manually.
Google has planned to come up with
a detailed guide for the existing and new users to raise their awareness
level and make it comfortable for them to switch over to the new template.
