New composer tools rolling out, with a more modern and flexible writing experience

This release continues our work on the next-generation composer, with new formatting tools and improvements rolling out progressively.

Composer improvements (progressive rollout)

For users in the rollout, the composer now includes:

• Richer formatting tools: Add highlights, strikethrough, dividers, and more to better structure your emails.
• Quick insert menu: A new “+” menu makes it easier to access formatting options and tools in one place.
• Style controls: Apply consistent text styles with a dedicated style dropdown.
• Emoji support: Insert emojis directly while composing.
• Smarter links: Links now render with previews when metadata is available, helping add context to your messages.
• Updated look and feel: A refreshed composer design for a cleaner, more modern writing experience.

Behind the scenes

• Completed migration away from legacy composer components, improving performance and reliability for all users.

These updates lay the foundation for a more powerful composing experience. More improvements will continue to roll out in the coming releases.

Thank you for your continued feedback as we refine the new composer.
