# Content - Email - Overview

## Introduction

The *Content > Email* area provides access to all email-related CMS elements.

From this screen, you manage email messages, templates, frameworks, and blocks.

For conceptual explanations of how these elements relate to each other, refer to the [System Basics documentation](https://docs.mapp.com/docs/how-cms-email-works).

## Tabs

The screen contains the following tabs:

### Email Messages

Lists all created email messages.

Each message is based on a template and can be prepared for sendout.

Additional information may include:

- Template used for the message
- Status (for example, whether the message is still in progress or finished)
- Assigned user
- Due date
- Number of paragraphs

Depending on the configuration, you can preview messages, transfer ownership, archive them, or start the sendout process.

Templates define the structure of an email message and are based on a framework. When creating a message, you select a template.

The overview shows general information such as:

- Template name
- Author
- Creation date

### Frameworks

Frameworks define which blocks are available when creating or editing a template. They control the structural possibilities of templates.

The overview may include:

- Framework name
- Assigned tags
- Author

### Blocks

Blocks are structural or content elements that can be made available in frameworks and used in templates.

## Table and View Options

Each tab displays its entries in a table.

Depending on the tab, you can:

- Filter entries (for example, by date or status)
- Sort entries by column
- Adjust visible columns
- Navigate between pages
- Adjust the number of visible rows
- Select multiple entries for bulk actions

These options affect only the current view and do not change the stored content.

- **Create** – Create a new item of the selected type.
