Your inbox
Messages about applause, remixes, design requests, and news from us.
The Inbox is on the Today tab. It lists messages in three columns: From, What, and Kind. Unread messages show a closed envelope and bold text. Select any row to open it.
The inbox shows seven rows. An Earlier line separates unread messages from ones you have read, with older ones folded under a count.
When it opens, the window shows Checking the mail. If there are no messages, it shows Inbox empty. Applause, remixes, and challenges will appear here.
The header shows your total star points . When you get star points, stars fly into the chip and a line shows the reason (e.g., +10 star points · Learn card: Snowman). Points you got while the app was closed show the next time it opens. Signed out, the line reads +[N] star points: sign in to collect. The bottom row (You) has a Report a bug button that opens the bug report form.
Kinds of messages
- Applause: Grouped messages for applause on your published models, scenes, patterns, or clips.
- Stars: Notifications for stars other members give your work, one row per piece (each star gives you 10 star points).
- Remixes: Messages when another creator remixes your piece.
- Requests: Open design challenges from the app’s characters. Requests stay pinned to the top of the inbox until done.
- New clips: New clips from creators you follow (clips posted in the last two weeks).
- Your shares: Updates on the check of your shares (Your submission is public, Your submission was returned, or Your submission was taken down). When an update to a live post is sent back, the row reads Your update to [name] was sent back. The live version stays. A post you take down yourself sends no message. A pinned row counts your live shares, total applause, and total remixes.
- Your reports: Notes that your bug reports arrived (Report received:) and replies to them (An answer to your report), or Report closed. Thank you for submitting. when one is closed.
- News: A welcome message from us, then news from us in five kinds: news, maker of the week, collab, new kit, and contest. If we reset your name, a row reads Your name was reset. Pick a new one from your page.
Opening a message
Selecting a message opens it, showing the sender, the time sent, the subject, and the text. Messages from us may include pictures, more than one paragraph, and links that open in the browser.
Attached pieces show in an Attached section with their live counts. Buttons open the piece or screen the message is about (Help out, Return, Go to Clips, Watch it, Open it, See your page, See their page, See the kit, or See others’ work).
Opening the inbox marks its messages as read. Messages don’t need a reply.
