Additional Google+ integration with Gmail

If Google+ is enabled on your domain and you activated your profile, the following features will now be available in your Gmail account:

- Circles and Google+ posts in the People Widget: If you open an email from someone that has a Google+ account, you can add them to a circle. The People Widget will also show recent Google+ posts from the sender.

- Direct content sharing: If you receive an email with an image attached, in addition to viewing or downloading, you can now share it to Google+, directly from your inbox. The photos will be uploaded to your Google+ account and will only be viewable by circles you choose to share with.

- Filtering mail by circles: Your circles will be displayed as labels in the navigation pane. By selecting a circle, you can choose to display messages received from individuals in that particular circle. Additionally, you can configure circle names to display on emails in your inbox.

Google+ now available for Google Apps domains

Google Apps administrators can manually turn on Google+ for their organization. Once Google+ is turned on, users will need to sign up at google.com/+ to get started. For customers who use Google Apps for Business or the free version of Google Apps and who have chosen to automatically enable new services, Google+ will automatically become available to all of your users over the next several days.

Editions included:
Google Apps, Google Apps for Business, Government and Education*

Languages included:
Control Panel: All languages supported by the control panel
Google+: All languages supported by Google+

How to access what's new:
Follow these steps to roll out Google+ to your users.

Note: Google+ requires Picasa Web Albums for photo sharing and Google Talk for chat, so if these services are not enabled then Google+ will not automatically become available, even if your domain has chosen to automatically enable new services. The option to automatically enable new services is controlled in the Domain settings tab of the administrator control panel. More information about using Google+ with Google Apps is available in the Help Center.

*Education editions only: Google+ is available only for higher education institutions that are existing Google Apps for Education customers. If you don't see the Google+ service in your control panel (as described above), you'll need to apply for the service to have it added to your control panel.
