Library & Inbox
Review, approve, archive, and organize every post in your workspace.
The Library and Inbox hold all your posts, organized by status. New posts arrive in your Inbox for review. Approved posts are in your Library and appear in the galleries, cards, and email widgets whose content they match.
Navigate to UGC → Library or UGC → Inbox to manage your content.

Post statuses
Every post in your workspace has one of three statuses.
| Status | Description | Displayed in widgets |
|---|---|---|
| Inbox | New posts awaiting review, listed in the Inbox | No |
| Approved | Posts listed in the Library, available in every widget whose content they match | Yes |
| Archived | Posts listed on the Archive page. Cevoid deletes them permanently 30 days after they're archived, and you can restore them until then | No |
To change a post's status, open it and select Approved or Inbox in Status on the Details tab. Posts you add with Upload in the Library are approved at once, and posts you add in the Inbox wait for review. See Platform uploads.
Approve posts
Approving a post moves it from your Inbox to your Library, and it appears in every gallery, card, and email widget whose content it matches.
- Navigate to UGC → Inbox
- Click Approve at the bottom right of the post. For a video with sound, select Approve, or Disable audio and approve to remove the sound first.
To approve several posts at once, select them and use the Approve bulk action.
If a post's creator is on your loyalty program's waitlist, Status on the post's Details tab reads Waiting list. Click it, then click Approve profile & post to approve the profile and the post together.
Archive and restore posts
Archived posts are hidden from the Library, the Inbox, and every widget. Cevoid deletes an archived post permanently 30 days after it was archived. Until then, you can restore it.
Archive a post
- Navigate to UGC → Library or UGC → Inbox and open the post
- Click More in the upper right corner
- Click Archive. The post closes and moves to the Archive page.
In the Inbox, the X at the bottom right of a post archives it at once. To archive several posts, select them and use the Archive bulk action.
Restore a post
- Navigate to UGC → Library or UGC → Inbox
- Click Archive in the upper right corner. The Archived posts page opens.
- Click Restore on the post. It returns to the status it had before: approved posts to the Library, others to the Inbox.
You can also open an archived post and click More → Restore.
Delete a post permanently
Deleting a post can't be undone. The post is removed from your workspace and every widget.
- Navigate to UGC → Library or UGC → Inbox and open the post
- Click More in the upper right corner
- Click Delete
- Click Delete to confirm
To delete several posts at once, archive them first. On the Archive page, select them and use the Delete bulk action, which is only offered there.
Search posts
The search box at the top of the Library and Inbox (Search (number) posts) finds posts by their creator's profile, such as a name, an email address, or an Instagram handle. It doesn't search captions.
On the Archive page and the Unassigned page, search covers captions, brand comments, email addresses, and Instagram and TikTok usernames instead.
Filter posts
Filter your Library or Inbox to find specific content.
| Filter | Description |
|---|---|
| Labels | Posts with selected post labels |
| Profile | Posts from selected profiles |
| Source | Where posts came from: Imported, Copied to workspace, or Workspace uploads; one of your upload forms; Instagram tagged, Instagram feed, or Instagram mentioned; TikTok feed; or one of your single-task activities or challenges |
| Media type | Image or Video |
| Aspect ratio | Portrait, Square, or Landscape |
| Products | Posts tagged with selected products |
| Collection, Category, Brand | Posts tagged with products in selected collections, categories, or brands |
| Product status | No products or Tagged products |
| Created at | Posts Cevoid created within a date range |
| Posted at | Posts published within a date range |
| Import | Posts from one of your imports in Settings → Import & export, listed by file name and date. See Import and export UGC |
On Shopify, WooCommerce, and stores connected with a product feed, the Collection, Category, and Brand filters are in the Library only. On other platforms, Category and Brand are in both the Library and the Inbox, and there's no Collection filter.
- Navigate to UGC → Library or UGC → Inbox
- Click Filter
- Select a filter and its values
- Optional: Select more filters to narrow the results
- Optional: Click Clear to remove all filters
Click is (or is any of) on any filter to switch it to is not and exclude matching posts. For example, filter for posts where Labels is not "Biking" to see all posts without that label.
Filter mode
When filters of two or more kinds are active, such as Labels and Media type, a filter mode button appears next to Clear. Click it to switch between:
- Match all filters: Posts must match every filter
- Match any filter: Posts can match any of the filters
Several values in one filter always match posts with any of those values.
Display options
The Display menu in the Library sets Grouping to No grouping (the default) or Created date. Ordering is always Last created, with the newest posts first. The Archive and Unassigned pages have the same menu.
How the Inbox is organized
The Inbox groups posts by where they came from. Each group has its own Select all, so you can review one group at a time.
| Group | Posts in it |
|---|---|
| from profiles | Posts from creators with a profile, such as upload form submissions |
| From activities | Posts submitted in your loyalty program's activities |
| Accepted Instagram requests | Instagram posts you have the rights to, through a request or direct access |
| Customer uploads | Other collected posts with no profile |
| In-house uploads | Posts your team uploaded with no profile |
| Instagram feed | Posts from your brand's Instagram feed |
| TikTok feed | Posts from your brand's TikTok feed |
Unassigned posts
Unassigned posts are approved posts with no profile that your team didn't upload. When you have any, Unassigned appears under UGC in the sidebar with a count.
Navigate to UGC → Unassigned to see them. To give a post its creator, open it and reassign it to a profile, or select several posts and use the Change profile... bulk action.
Bulk actions
Bulk actions change several posts at once. They work in the Library, the Inbox, the Archive and Unassigned pages, and the UGC tab of a profile or a product.
- Navigate to UGC → Library or UGC → Inbox
- Hover over a post and select its checkbox in the upper left corner. A toolbar appears at the bottom with the number of selected posts.
- Optional: Select more posts, or click Select all. Once one post is selected, you can also press
Cmd+A(Ctrl+Aon Windows). - Click Actions in the toolbar, or press
Cmd+K(Ctrl+Kon Windows) - Select an action. Actions apply at once, except Archive, Delete, and Copy to workspace..., which ask you to confirm.
To clear the selection, click X in the toolbar or press Escape. Bulk actions only change the selected posts the page still shows: if you change a filter, posts it hides aren't included.
| Action | What it does | Shown |
|---|---|---|
| Approve | Approves the selected posts | Not in the Library |
| Move to inbox | Moves the selected posts to the Inbox | Not in the Inbox |
