Google declared on Monday, June 24th through a post on its Gmail blog that it has made the new Google Groups interface available to all users and gotten rid of the old look. According to the search engine giant the new interface of Google Groups is completely different from its previous look. Moreover, the new look of the Groups includes fresh features. For example now users can create an inbox so they can monitor and share responsibilities with other members of a team. Apart from this, users can do several other things with the brand new interface.

 

As far as the experience for moderators of Groups is concerned, Google has also made it better and faster. In addition to this, the new site especially designed for mobile devices allows the moderators to manage and browse through their group when they are on the move. Furthermore, users can also make the moderating process quicker by using canned responses.

 

For further details read the original post given below:

 

“With Google Groups, you can manage a mailing list, coordinate with your social club, and find experts who share your interests. Over the last year we have been working on improving the experience and adding new features while keeping our old version running.

 

Today we’re retiring the old version and excited to be bringing the new Google Groups to everyone. If you haven’t tried Groups in a while you’ll notice improved options for managing your groups and long time users may be surprised by all the features we have added along the way.

 

One of the recently improved features is the ability to create an inbox that allows you to collaboratively share, distribute and track responsibilities with others. Imagine you and a few friends are organizing an event for your school and want a single email address to coordinate with vendors, parents, and volunteers. Members of the group can work together to manage email, assign items to each other, and mark items resolved. This can be a great feature for teams seeking a really simple way to get things done without sharing passwords or losing track.

 

Additionally, there are several new moderation tools to make managing your forum easier and faster. For example, you can now use canned responses in forums and use streamlined options to make moderating forum posts easier. And if you are on the go, you can browse and moderate your groups with our mobile website.”
