We encourage Google Apps administrators to manage the rollout of Gmail’s new look to their users, so they’ll have a better experience when the new look becomes permanent. To assist with this, a new checkbox is now available in the administrator control panel giving administrators the ability to make the new look the default for all their users immediately. Administrators cannot revert this change, but individual users can temporarily switch back to the old look. You can give your users all the information they need to make a smooth transition to the new look by visiting our Google Apps Learning Center , where you'll find ready-to-use guides, presentations, and videos on the new look for Gmail as well as other services.Editions included: Google Apps, Google Apps for Business, Government and EducationLanguages included: All languages supported by the Control Panel (Next Generation and Current Version)How to access what's new: In the administrator control panel, click on ‘Settings’, then ‘Email’ and scroll down to the section ‘New look for Gmail’ to see the new option.
