Instead of sending a copy of an email to each individual recipient, you can effectively create a simple forum post that everyone can participate in—a feature that certainly helps when collaboration is a priority. Let’s go over how you can quickly and easily create a group in Gmail. ## Step 1: Access Google Apps and Select Contacts That’s right—this process isn’t even completed in Gmail. However, since you’re likely in the Gmail app, click into the **App Launcher icon** (colloquially, and arguably more correctly, known as the “waffle” icon) and access **Google Contacts**. A new window will open to the Google Contacts page. In this new window, you’ll see the Google Contacts page, and if you click the **three-bar menu**, you’ll see a selection of tools and options. ## Step 2: Create a Label In these tools, you’ll see a **Label** option, and underneath that, the option to **Create Label**. Give it a name you will remember it by, and click **Save**. You now have a label, and it’s time to add some contacts to it. ## Step 3: Add Some Contacts You’ll see lists of your email contacts by selecting **Frequently Contacted** or **Directory**. Select whomever you want to include in a group, finally clicking the **label icon** at the top of the window. Confirm that the right label is selected, and select **Apply**. That’s it! Now, from Gmail, you can put the name you gave your label into the To field of any email you’re writing to send it to that group. Hopefully, this will come in handy for you moving forward.
