Modified on Wed, 2 May, 2018 at 1:29 PM

  1. Load Gmail on the web and sign in.
  2. In the top-right corner of the inbox, find the cog/gear icon and click it.
  3. If it's made available for your account, you'll see an option for "Try the new Gmail" at the very top — click it.
  4. After a page reload, you'll have to click Next on the pop-up and then choose a viewfor your inbox.
    • Most people will like "Default" because it shows the most information per message, but "Comfortable" is a good choice as well.
    • You can always change this view later at any time from the cog/gear icon.
  5. Click OK and you're using the new interface!
    • If you want to go back to the "old" interface, repeat the steps from the cog/gear icon to return to it.

The option isn't available for everyone right away, and Google says it will be rolling it out to all users over the course of several weeks before finally enabling it by default.
