Gmail-Calendar Migration Tip of the Day #5

I'd like to take this opportunity to officially welcome all our district employees to Gmail! We truly believe that having one integrated system for email, calendar, and files will improve the efficiency and collaboration at all levels of our organization. Supporting only one system, instead of two separate systems for staff and students, will also save us money and help our team better support you!

Today's tip is for anyone already feeling nostalgic for the look of Outlook.  Here's how you can make your Gmail inbox look like Outlook by enabling preview pane.  Please note: This tip is also available as a video tutorial.
  1. Visit mail.google.com 
  2. Click on the Gear > Settings
  3. Under the Advanced Tab > Find Preview Pane and Click Enable
  4. Choose Save Changes at the bottom of the page.
  5. Now you'll a new button at the top.  Select and choose Horizontal.
  6. Now your Gmail inbox looks similar to Outlook.  If you decide you don't like this look, you can always change it back.
If you are experiencing any technical issues with your Gmail, please complete a helpdesk ticket so your inquiry can be quickly addressed by the appropriate member of our tech team.

You can find all of our Gmail Migration Video Tutorial Tips on the WUSD Tech YouTube Channel Gmail Migration Playlist and archived under our Migration Tips on the WUSD Tech Blog.
