Most notably, the unwieldily sidebar has been replaced with a slide-in pane. Buttons like "compose" have been moved to the bottom right corner, and it looks like there's another new feature down there: reminders.

Hangouts, of course, are also integrated into the design. And cosmetically, there are major changes afoot that make the interface look right at home next to Google Now.

Like That Leaked Interface, This Test Version Of Gmail Includes Some Major New Features
For example, snoozing an email and setting it to return to the top of your inbox at a later date in time. Stars have also been replaced with pins, and you can set it so that pinned emails always stay at the top of your inbox.
