Weekly Tips : Customize your Compose for a smoother workflow

Weekly Tips : Customize your Compose for a smoother workflow

You are someone who sends a lot of emails, but half the sections in the composer just get in your way — like fields you never use or sections that clutter the space. You find yourself always hunting for the same few formatting tools, and the layout just doesn’t feel natural to how you work.

Now imagine having a composer layout with the tools and sections that actually matters to you — With Compose customization option the tools you use most are right where your hand goes first. The rarely-used fields are gone, giving you more space to write. Even the layout is in an order that feels intuitive to your workflow.


Compose Customization

With Compose Customization option in Zoho Mail you can customize your email composer based on your requirements. You can change the order of your email composer layout, hide rarely or never used sections, group frequently used buttons together and ungroup an existing group of buttons, increase the content area, and much more.

Customize your Compose

  1. Log in to Zoho Mail.
  2. Click on the Settings icon on the right pane.
  3. Navigate to Mail > Compose Customization.
  4. The email composer layout in Zoho Mail can be classified into 6 sections as follows:
    1. Top bar
    2. Header
    3. Subject section
    4. Toolbar
    5. Content area
    6. Attachment region
The sections of the composer layout can be rearranged to suit your desired working style. To rearrange the sections, click and hold the section you wish to move, then drag & drop it into the new position.

No extra distractions, no wasted clicks. Just a clean, personalized workspace that makes work easier for you.
