Why you’d use it
Getting started
- Admins:
- Customized layouts are ON by default at the domain level. You can turn layouts ON or OFF for specific domains, OUs, or groups by going to the admin panel for Gmail.
- If you don't want users to use Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings, Forms, and email layouts, but to still use Drive for file management, leave Drive turned ON and turn OFF Docs creation.
- Visit the Help Center to learn more about managing Gmail settings for your users, customizing access policies for different organizational units or groups, and turning Docs creation ON or OFF.
- End users: If enabled by your admin, visit the Help Center to learn more about using layouts in Gmail and Drive.
- Gmail:
- You can access custom email layouts in Gmail from the layout icon in your Compose toolbar.
- You can then open the full screen editor from the embedded editor in Gmail using the “Edit in full screen” button in the top-right:
- Drive:
- You can open an email layout that you have in Drive (an email layout created previously or an email layout shared with you) by double clicking the email layout file in Drive.
- Your custom layouts are stored in Drive as a special file type associated with the layouts editor. You can find email layouts in Drive by searching: “type:email-layouts”
- You can also access the standalone editor by going to docs.google.com/email-layouts/create?title=newDoc.
- Mail-merge tags work with email layouts when enabled in Gmail. You can insert mail merge tags in email layouts. Visit the Help Center to learn more about sending personalized emails with mail merge.
