To change the layout or availability of features in the integration, enable
Customize Content with App Builder, and select to create an email
application pane. Use the Lightning App Builder to customize the pane.
The email application pane is a Lightning App Builder page that applies to the Salesforce
pane in Outlook or Gmail. When you enable Inbox, the default email application pane includes
all Inbox productivity features. To include only the features that your reps need, or to change
the organization of the features in the pane, create one or more custom panes.
Tip To start your custom design, use the With Inbox Features option in the
Email Application Pane section. Then, remove the features that you don’t need from the default
email application pane.
Activate the email application pane, and assign it to the appropriate user profiles.
Sales reps with an Inbox permission set see the new pane the next time they open the
integration in their email.
