# How best to use the free trial

So you have 14 days of uninterrupted, fully functional application use, but how can you make the most of your free trial? Let me take you through the key functionality we would love you to try:

### Shared Inbox:

Well, it's why you're here right? Adding your shared inbox is by far, the quickest and easiest way for you to get the most value from your free trial. Once you have set up your shared inbox, you can read emails, assign emails to your colleagues, tag your emails to be better categorise what's coming in and collaborate and chat with your colleagues. All of these actions are private to Loop and won't affect any other users of that shared inbox **outside** of Loop. If you decide to reply to (or forward) emails, then this action will carry across outside of Loop. So go on then, [add your shared inbox now.](/shared-inbox/how-do-i-set-up-a-shared-inbox.md)

### Personal Inbox:

Using Loop means you can manage your own emails, your shared emails and internal chat all in one place. Your personal inbox remains just that, *personal to you.* Your personal inbox is not shared with any of your team unless you choose to share specific emails by assigning them to someone else, or mentioning another person in the side chat of the email. So why not get all your emails under control and sync your own inbox now.

### Add a team mate or two:

Let's be honest, it's no fun attending a party on your own, so why would you want to try Loop on your own? Invite a colleague to have a look with you. Why not add a team called "Loop Testing" where you can share everything you love, or don't, about Loop. Still not convinced? Not a problem, why not invite your in app support bot, Loopbot, into your shared inbox - they will be happy to have mails assigned or chat to you so can experience what it would be like with someone before committing to getting them involved.

 

By doing any of the above actions, you will be well on your way to getting the most from your 14-day free trial.
