Now in public preview: Unread Toggle for Activity Feed

Description

Activity Feeds team is glad to announce the launch of Unread Toggle in Teams Activity. One of our top user ask has been around persistent filter states in Activity. Unread Toggle is a step towards it with aim to help users triage activity affectively and stay on top as well as reduce the baggage of always seeing a long list of items.

 

Flighting status

Available to all preview users.

 

How to enable

This is enabled by default for preview users.

 

Users can use the Unread Toggle by following these steps:

1. Go to activity feed.
2. Turn ON the Unread Toggle.

Once turned ON, only unread items will show up in the activity app. The state of the toggle is persistent across app navigation/restarts.

 

Note 1: If you need information about enabling the public preview itself, see “Enable the public preview for Teams” below.

Note 2: User needs to be in Public Preview to have access to Unread Toggle feature.
