### What’s changing 

Google is introducing a new, integrated view for Gmail, making it easy to move between critical applications like Gmail, Chat, and Meet in one unified location.

Google will introduce this new experience according to this timeline:

**Beginning February 11, 2022: **

- Users can opt-in to test the new experience, allowing them to try it out and become more accustomed to it. Users can revert to classic Gmail via settings.
- We will share an update on the Google Workspace Updates Blog, along with Help Center content, once rollout begins.

**By April 2022:** 

- Users who have not opted-in will begin seeing the new experience by default, but can revert to classic Gmail via settings.

**By the end of Q2 2022: **

- **This will become the standard experience for Gmail, with no option to revert back.**
- Around the same time, users will also begin seeing the new streamlined navigation experience on Chat web ([mail.google.com/chat](http://mail.google.com/chat)).
- Important Note: This also means users will not have the option to configure Chat to display on the right side of Gmail.

### Why you’d use it 

When enabled, the new navigation menu allows you to easily switch between your inbox, important conversations, and join meetings without having to switch between tabs or open a new window. 

Notification bubbles make it easy to stay on top of what immediately needs your attention. When working in Chat and Spaces, you can view a full list of conversations and Spaces within a single screen, making it easier to navigate to and engage. 

When working in your inbox, you’ll be able to view the full array of Mail and Label options currently available in Gmail today. 

In the coming months, you will also see email and chat results when using the search bar, making it easier to find what you need by eliminating the need to search within a specific product.
