How it relates to the rest of the suite
| Surface | Shows |
|---|---|
| This inbox | Project events involving you. |
| The rail count on Projects | How many are unread, visible from any module. |
| Shell activity feed | A cross-module view of recent events. |
| Only the categories you left on in [Notifications](/docs/platform/notifications). |
The common configuration that works: no email for assignments and changes, email only for mentions. The rail count is enough to bring you back for everything else, and an inbox you check is better than an inbox that mails you.
What this does not do
An item is unread, read, or archived.
You cannot route items by project or type.
CRM, Sign and the portal each have their own. There is no single suite-wide queue.
Questions
Can I unfollow a task?
Yes, from the task.
Does archiving delete anything?
No.
Why do I get items from projects I am not in?
You should not. A mention can reach you, but the task itself will not be readable.
