OVERVIEW

The Emails page lets you create, edit, and organize email
campaigns. You can draft individual emails, schedule send dates,
set up recurring series, and organize emails by campaign.

HOW TO GET THERE

Click "Emails" under Content in the sidebar, or navigate
to /emails.

PAGE LAYOUT

The page has two panels:
  Left sidebar (280px): Email list organized by view mode
  Right panel: Email detail view, new email form, or edit form

VIEW MODES

Switch between three ways of organizing your email list using
the tabs at the top of the sidebar:

  By Time
    Groups emails into time-based buckets:
    This Week, This Month, Later, Past, No Date

  By Campaign
    Groups emails by their campaign name. Emails without a
    campaign appear under "Standalone."

  By Series

Each email in the list shows a status dot, subject line
(truncated), and send date.
