**Good to Know:** The timezone listed in the upper right corner of the All Channels view will always show posts according to your computer's *current* timezone, regardless of the [timezone set for each of your channels](https://support.buffer.com/en-us/articles/setting-up-your-timezones-and-posting-schedules-P4iSag90Fl).

## Filtering by content type

The tabs at the top of the All Channels view allow you to toggle between posts in different states (e.g. [draft posts](https://support.buffer.com/en-us/articles/saving-and-scheduling-draft-posts-CBLXg1yFXp), [posts waiting for approval](https://support.buffer.com/en-us/articles/managing-and-approving-draft-posts-57li7M8tDA), [scheduled posts](https://support.buffer.com/en-us/categories/scheduling-posts-e1hknhmG7A), and [sent posts](https://support.buffer.com/en-us/articles/understanding-sent-post-metrics-within-buffers-publish-dashboard-kppgBDLK6y)). This means that you view a list of scheduled posts for all channels at once or you can approve all of your team members posts in one place (vs. having to view each queue individually).

**Queue:** Use the Queue tab to view all scheduled posts.

**Drafts:** Use the Drafts tab to see your drafts across your social channels.

**Approvals:** Use the Approvals tab to view all posts awaiting approval.

**Sent:** Use the Sent tab to see all of your published posts.

## Filtering by channel

If you prefer to narrow down the content by channel(s), you can use the ***Channels*** filter to select which channel(s) to view. For example, if you manage the LinkedIn and Facebook pages for multiple clients (Client A, Client B and Client C), you can select Client A's Facebook Page and Instagram account in the dropdown, so you’ll only see content for those channels.
