Google has announced changes to Gmail which will revamp the right-click menu.

On Monday, the tech giant said the changes are focused on right-click menu options. While nowhere near as radical a change as the recent Gmail inbox design overhaul. the update is designed to improve inbox management.

Currently, users are presented with "Move to tab," "Archive," "Mark as read," and "Delete." Within the month, however, these options will extend to include search options, reply/forward, snooze, mark as unread, movement options, labeling, and the option to open an email in a new tab.
