Inbox

Overview

The Inbox is the heart of Volta, it's where you'll find all your notifications and where you can manage them.

You can quickly access your Inbox from the sidebar or by pressing I from anywhere in the app.

In the sidebar, an unread count badge will be displayed next to inbox, repositories and organizations (when collapsed) that lets you quickly access your Inbox filtered.

Navigate through your notifications by clicking on them or by using the keyboard shortcuts J K or ↓ ↑, you can also use the and buttons in the header.

Actions

You can quickly mark the selected notification as read or unread by clicking on the Mark as read / Mark as unread buttons in the header or by using the keyboard shortcut U.

You can also delete the selected notification by clicking on the Delete notification button or by using the keyboard shortcut D. A Notification deleted toast will appear in the bottom-right of your screen, you will then have 5 seconds to cancel the deletion by clicking on the Undo button or by pressing Z if you want to.

Bulk actions are available in the header menu, you can mark all filtered notifications as read by clicking on Read all or delete all filtered notifications by clicking on Delete all. You can use U and D keyboard shortcuts to trigger these actions.

• issues / pull requests closed or merged
• repositories imported or failed
