Inbox is a Plane-only feature that lets project members (`guests` and `viewers`) create issues and project admins (`admin` and `members`) add issues inside a project. Inbox can take bug reports, feature or service requests, or raise a ticket by stakeholders, customers, or clients. Issues created in the inbox can then be accepted to move them to the Project’s workflow. Inbox functions at the project level and is toggled off by default. It can be enabled from the `Features` tab under project settings.
