When an important email needs input from several people, you don’t have to send drafts back and forth. Write it together in a Google Doc, then send it to Gmail when it’s ready.
What you can do
- Mention people in the recipient fields using the @ menu, without having to remember their email addresses.
- Collaborate on the message body using comments and suggestions.
- Send directly from Docs by clicking the button shown alongside an email draft.
How to work with email drafts in Google Docs
- On your computer, open a Google Doc.
- At the top left, click Insert > Building blocks > Email draft.
- You can also type “@email” in the doc and press Enter.
- To add recipients in the “To” field, type “@” and search your contacts, or type out email addresses.
- Add a subject line, write the email body and format your draft.
- Tip: you can collaborate with others in your doc to write the email draft.
