Gmail - Course Outline

Pdf Summary

This course outline covers the essential features and daily workflows of Gmail within Google Workspace (G Suite). It begins with viewing and managing email, including how to navigate the inbox interface (Compose button, left-side links, search bar, toolbar, and side panel), read messages, open emails in separate windows, and mark messages as read or unread. Learners also explore different inbox layouts such as Important First, Unread First, Starred First, and Priority Inbox, along with practical tasks like printing emails, using inbox category tabs, and customizing the inbox appearance through themes (including custom themes). Help resources and searching for Gmail assistance are also included.<br /><br />The next section focuses on composing and sending email. Topics include writing messages, replying and forwarding, formatting text, and clearing formatting. Participants learn to attach files both from their computer and from Google Drive, as well as view and save attachments. Additional tools covered include inserting pictures and links, running spellcheck, scheduling emails (and canceling scheduled sends), and managing Drafts and Sent items. The course also introduces Gmail’s confidential email feature for sending and reading messages with added restrictions.<br /><br />The organization unit teaches methods to keep the inbox structured and searchable. Learners create and apply labels, manage label visibility and colors, and use search effectively (including refining searches). They also build and manage filters, star and mark important emails, and work with archiving and deletion (trash viewing, restoring, and emptying). Conversation management tools such as mute/unmute and snooze/unsnooze are included.<br /><br />Finally, the customization section covers Gmail settings and categories, enabling desktop notifications, creating signatures, setting vacation responders, linking other email accounts (including sending from alternate addresses), and enabling/using keyboard shortcuts with built-in shortcut help.
