Prerequisites

{% data reusables.notifications-v2.notifications-inbox-required-setting %} For more information, see AUTOTITLE.

Accessing your inbox

To access your notifications inbox, in the upper-right corner of any page, click {% octicon "inbox" aria-label="The notifications inbox" %}.

Your inbox shows all of the notifications that you haven't unsubscribed to or marked as Done. You can customize your inbox to best suit your workflow using filters, viewing all or just unread notifications, and grouping your notifications to get a quick overview.

By default, your inbox will show read and unread notifications. To only see unread notifications, click Unread or use the is:unread query.

Triaging options

You have several options for triaging notifications from your inbox.

Triaging option	Description
Save	Saves your notification for later review. To save a notification, to the right of the notification, click {% octicon "bookmark" aria-label="Save" %}. Saved notifications are kept indefinitely and can be viewed by clicking Saved in the sidebar or with the is:saved query. If your saved notification is older than 5 months and becomes unsaved, the notification will disappear from your inbox within a day.
Done	Marks a notification as completed and removes the notification from your inbox. You can see all completed notifications by clicking Done in the sidebar or with the is:done query. Notifications marked as Done are saved for 5 months.
Unsubscribe	Automatically removes the notification from your inbox and unsubscribes you from the conversation until you are @mentioned, a team you're on is @mentioned, or you're requested for review.
Read	Marks a notification as read. To only view read notifications in your inbox, use the is:read query. This query doesn't include notifications marked as Done.
Unread	Marks notification as unread. To only view unread notifications in your inbox, use the is:unread query.

To see the available keyboard shortcuts, see AUTOTITLE.

Before choosing a triage option, you can preview your notification's details first and investigate. For more information, see AUTOTITLE.

Triaging multiple notifications at the same time

To triage multiple notifications at once, select the relevant notifications and use the {% octicon "kebab-horizontal" aria-label="More options" %} drop-down to choose a triage option.

Default notification filters

By default, your inbox has filters for when you are assigned, participating in a thread, requested to review a pull request, or when your username is @mentioned directly or a team you're a member of is @mentioned.

Customizing your inbox with custom filters

You can add up to 15 of your own custom filters. For information about the available filters, see AUTOTITLE.

{% data reusables.notifications.access_notifications %}

1. To open the filter settings, in the left sidebar, next to "Filters", click {% octicon "gear" aria-label="Customize filters" %}.

   Tip

   You can quickly preview a filter's inbox results by creating a query in your inbox view and clicking Save, which opens the custom filter settings.

2. Add a name for your filter and a filter query. For example, to only see notifications for a specific repository, you can create a filter using the query repo:octocat/open-source-project-name reason:participating. You can also add emojis with a native emoji keyboard. For a list of supported search queries, see AUTOTITLE.

   

3. Click Create.
