We hope you enjoy the new Google Play Console . With more than 300,000 users choosing the new version of the Play Management Center by default, and thousands of developers providing feedback, the new Play Management Center is now ready. I would like to sincerely thank all of you for helping us along the way. This also means that the old version of the Play Management Center will be retired from November 2, 2020 . After that, the system will automatically enter the new version of the Play Management Center when you log in.
If you have not experienced the new version, we suggest you switch immediately. To start using the new version, please visit play.google.com/console.
The new version of Play Management Center adopts a responsive layout, which can support you to use it on all devices. The new navigation bar makes it easier for you to find, discover and understand important features, and we have added some new areas to help you better understand the release status, view application performance, and get guidance on policy changes.
Thanks to your feedback, we have made many improvements:
Re-planned the navigation release area. Now, the "production environment" is at the top, and all test tracks are grouped together. Internal App Sharing function (Internal App Sharing) has been moved to "Settings";
The speed and performance on different browsers have been improved. We also adjusted the appearance of the interface, such as the size of the text box, the introduction of unread notifications, and the optimization of the title on the mobile device to improve your experience and efficiency;
Launched Inbox, which brings you important news about apps and games, including useful information, policy updates, and feature suggestions;
