# Customizing your inbox view

> Learn how to customize your Inbox view by sorting and filtering conversations to keep your workspace organized and efficient.

Your **Inbox** is where you manage all customer conversations, from AI Agent chats to team messages. You can tailor how conversations are displayed to suit your workflow.

## Using Filters to Customize Your View

You can use the preset **filters** to control which conversations to focus on.

For example, you can choose to:

* View only your **assigned conversations** under Your Inbox.
* Focus on unassigned chats in your **Team Inbox**.
* As an **Administrator**, check AI Agents or Users to monitor activity across your organization.

For the most efficient workflow, try combining sorting with filters. For example, you may want to:

* Sort **Oldest first** within Your Inbox to make sure no customer waits too long for a reply.
* Sort **Newest first** in Unassigned Conversations to see what’s just come in.
* View AI Agent conversations sorted **Alphabetically** to track performance per contact.

## Sorting Conversations

In addition to filters, you can change how conversations are **ordered** in your Inbox. **Sorting** helps you quickly identify the newest messages, oldest open chats, or organize your list alphabetically.

To sort conversations:

  </Step>

  <Step title="Sort By">
    Choose one of the available options:

    •	**Newest:** Sorts conversations from newest to oldest.

    •	**Oldest:** Sorts conversations from oldest to newest.

    •	**Alphabetically (A–Z):** Sorts by the customer’s name associated with each conversation.

    Sorting gives you a quick way to prioritize work, whether you want to respond to the latest messages first or clear out older ones waiting longest for a reply.
