The following features are now available to domains following the Scheduled Release track:

Gmail:
The ‘Manage this domain’ link for administrators has moved from its current location at the top right of the inbox, to the bottom right corner of the inbox, just underneath ‘Last account activity’. This link will not show if Tasks or a chat mole is open. If an administrator account switches to Gmail’s new look, the ‘Manage this domain’ link moves to the 'Settings' gear menu in the upper right of the Gmail inbox.

Gmail Contacts:
Browse the Google Apps directory from within Gmail Contacts

Users can browse the entire Google Apps directory for their domain from within Contacts without having to search. This is especially useful when a user doesn’t know the exact name or spelling of the person they’re looking for or wants to see a complete list of contacts for their domain in alphabetical order. Just click “Directory” in the left sidebar from within Contacts in Gmail to get started.

Docslist:
Ability to restrict the download of non-Google file types in Google Docs. This restriction can be applied to .ppt, .pdf, video, and image files.

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 Education

Languages 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.
