Inbox lets you read workspace email, start a new message, and keep drafts in one list. Open *Inbox* in the left navigation. The list includes *Inbox*, *Sent*, and a drafts folder, and the workspace list also includes *In Lev*. A screened thread keeps a screen result under the subject, including after a reject or after the deal is added to a pipeline.

## Filtering the list {#filtering-the-list}

*Inbox filters* can limit the thread list to campaign messages, separate from placement messages.

- **Open the menu** — Click *Inbox filters*. The menu is labeled *Filters*.
- **Show campaign messages** — Click *Campaign emails*. The list shows that filter while it is on, and *Placement emails* turns off.
- **Show placement messages instead** — Click *Placement emails*. *Campaign emails* turns off.

## Composing an email {#composing-an-email}

- **Start a message** — In the list chrome, click *Compose email* to open the composer with empty To, CC, and Subject.
- **Minimize a draft** — Click *Minimize to footer* to leave a tab showing the subject, or *New email* when the subject is empty.
- **Restore a draft** — Click that tab.
- **Discard a draft** — Click the close control on the tab, named Close plus the tab title.

## Using drafts {#using-drafts}

Saved mailbox drafts and ready-to-send campaign emails are collected on their own tab.

- **Open the folder** — Click *Drafts*.
- **Read an empty folder** — When nothing is waiting, the list reads No drafts yet.
- **Open drafts on a thread** — Expand the *Drafts* section in the thread, whose tooltip reads Ready-to-send campaign emails.

## Attaching files {#attaching-files}

You can attach a file from the composer even when the thread is not linked to a deal.

- **Open the menu** — In the composer, click *Attach files*.
- **Upload from your computer** — Click *Upload files* and choose the file.
- **Use a file already in Lev** — Click *Import from storage*.

A thread with no linked deal stores the upload in Files. A thread linked to one deal stores the upload on that deal. Where those files live is covered in [uploading files](/learn/files/uploading-files).

## Screen result on a thread {#screen-result-on-a-thread}

A screened thread shows this panel under the subject. The panel names the recommendation — **Accept**, **Needs Review**, or **Reject** — and links to the deal. The list row reads Screened, then the deal name, with that same recommendation. *Add to pipeline* on the panel moves the deal onto a pipeline.

Click *Screen deal* on a thread that has not been screened yet. After a reject, the row stays Screened and the panel stays on the thread. After you add the deal to a pipeline, that row label, the recommendation, and the panel remain.

**[Deal screening](/learn/screening/deal-screening)** — screen a thread against your buy box and read the result.
