Going Google

If you make a typo or regret sending a message, you can undo the action by enabling the "Undo send" lab. This lab will give you the option to take back a message you just sent.

1. From your RRISD GMail, click the gear icon and choose settings.

2. Choose Labs

3. Use the search box to search for undo, enable the lab, and save your changes.

4. You now have the option of setting how many seconds you have to undo your mistake. Undo Send will default to 10 seconds, but you might want more time. You can change the default setting by clicking the gear icon again, and choosing settings.

5. Under the General section, Find Undo Send and use the drop down list to determine the amount of time you have to undo a sent message.
