# Managing your Inbox

> Filter your updates, mark them read and clear items you have finished with.

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 <kbd>Cmd</kbd> or <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> while selecting rows, or <kbd>Shift</kbd>-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.

<Warning>
  Deleting an item does not answer its request or reverse its outcome. Complete any required
  response before clearing it.
</Warning>

For automatic cleanup, choose [Auto-delete read items](/for-employees/inbox/notification-settings#clear-old-read-items).

**Context for organising Inbox.** Bulk clear actions affect the caller's recipient copies only. New notifications arriving after a clear operation starts are retained. Snooze presets include 1 hour and 3 hours. Inbox Snooze is different from pausing mobile notifications. Undo restores visibility of deleted or snoozed items; it does not cancel a submitted time-off request or reverse another person's decision.
