Managing your Inbox

Keep important updates easy to find by filtering your Inbox and clearing items after you have followed them up. These actions change your notification list, not the work or request behind an item.

​

Find what needs attention

Use the filter control above the Inbox list to narrow it, for example to unread items or a notification category. Remove a filter chip, or choose Reset filters, to see the wider list again. Available filters depend on the items you have received. Opening an item marks it read. On a computer, use its header button or right-click the row to choose Mark as read or Mark as unread. On a phone, use the item’s available actions.

​

Keep an item for later

On a computer, right-click an item and choose Snooze. Choose a duration or a return time. Tomorrow 9am and Next week use your browser’s timezone; next week means Monday at 09:00. The item leaves the list until that time, then returns unread. Choose Undo in the confirmation message to bring it back immediately.

​

Clear finished updates

Delete a single item from its available actions. The list’s More actions menu also offers Mark all read, Delete all read and Delete all. These act across your Inbox, including items hidden by filters; deleting everything includes snoozed items. On a computer, hold Cmd or Ctrl while selecting rows, or Shift-click a range, to act on a specific selection. Confirm a bulk deletion, then use Undo while its confirmation remains available if you made a mistake. There is no Trash view. For automatic cleanup, choose Auto-delete read items.
