# Inbox tab

The Inbox tab lets you create and manage folders to organize conversations efficiently.

### **Introduction**

The **Inbox** tab allows you to organize conversations into folders for better workflow management.

**Folders** help group conversations by priority, status, or customer type, keeping the main Inbox focused and easier to manage.

Once created, conversations can be moved into folders to keep the Inbox organized and ensure important messages are easy to find.

### **Managing folders**

Move conversations into folders individually or in bulk to organize your Inbox. See [**Inbox and folder navigation**](/distance/getting-started/inbox/inbox-navigation-and-folders.md#inbox-and-folder-navigation) for details.

Custom folders appear alongside system folders such as **Spam** and **Archive** in the [**Inbox**](/distance/getting-started/inbox.md).

To update a folder, click the three-dot menu and select **Edit** to change the name or description.&#x20;

Folders help your team organize conversations without deleting them, keeping active and historical messages accessible when needed.
