If you were dying for a change in your email status-quo, Google recently rolled out some updates to the desktop version of its popular email client, Gmail.

With the new Gmail design, you'll find some user interface upgrades, some visual changes, and a few other additions - those who used the old Gmail will still find the new version recognizable, and it's not a game-changing update where you'll have to relearn everything.

But there's some new features thanks to some additional integrations with other Google apps like Calendar, Keep, and Tasks, as well as third-party plugins.

To switch to the new Gmail version, click on the gear in the upper right-hand corner of the Gmail page, and click 'Try the new Gmail.' You can use the same process to switch back to the old version of Gmail as well.

Here's how the new and old versions of Gmail compare to each other:
