If you accidentally click on another image, you can easily pull back the last picture you were looking at by hitting the ‘back’ button. Pretty simple.

Jokes aside, the Big G says the revamped look will help retailers and publishers attract more potential customers seeking information about a product they’re considering purchasing or a task they’re trying to solve. “We’ve also added captions to the related images shown under the image you’ve selected so you know where you’re going before you click,” the company writes.

Those interested in how the updated layout can help them clinch new business can head to this page for more information on how to add more product details, like price, availability, and customer reviews.
