Google Makes Gmail’s New Compose Experience The Default

Last October, Google introduced the new email compose window as an option for Gmail users and starting today, there’s no way to go back and use the old compose screen anymore. The new compose experience, which is essentially a pop-up window that appears on the right side of the screen, is easier to use, faster and makes it easier for Gmail users to multitask, Google says. In return, however, it’s now a bit harder to find text formatting options like underline, indent, numbered and unnumbered lists, etc. (you can, of course, also still use the same keyboard shortcuts as before). The new experience will also likely break the integration with Rapportive and similar services which previously lived in the right-hand sidebar of the compose screen. On the positive side, though, the new compose window makes it easier to multitask, as you can open multiple compose windows next to each other (though things get rather confusing once you open more than two). The new compose window is also close integrated with Google Drive and makes it very easy to attach documents from Google’s cloud storage service. The new compose experience will roll out over the next few days, Google says. After that, there’s no going back.
