New Composing Live Status Indicator

We’ve expanded our set of live status indicators to give you clearer real‑time visibility into how your collaborators interact with shared contacts. The new composing status appears whenever you view a message from a contact that a collaborator is currently drafting an email to.

Real‑time visibility into active drafting

When a collaborator starts composing an email to a contact you are currently viewing a message from, you’ll see a helpful notice in your sidebar:

This gives you immediate insight into who is actively handling the communication.

Smoother coordination, fewer conflicts

This new indicator builds on our existing collaboration signals and helps you:

• Prevent overlapping or conflicting replies

• Coordinate outreach more efficiently

• Maintain a consistent communication experience with shared contacts

It’s a small but meaningful improvement that helps you and your collaborators stay aligned when messaging the same person.
