The inbox
The inbox is one list, across all your spaces, of things that concern you. Not an activity feed. Nothing lands there because it happened, only because it needs you:
- Items assigned to you (or to a team you're in).
- Mentions: someone wrote
@youin a comment, a description, or a document. - Documents you own, including ones whose review date has passed.
Done work leaves by itself
When an item you're assigned to reaches a completion state, it disappears from your inbox without your help. Finished work doesn't need acknowledging. If the item is ever reopened, it returns, at the top.
Dismiss and snooze
Each row can be dismissed (you've seen it, handled it, or don't care) or snoozed: an hour, four hours, tomorrow morning, next Monday. Review reminders offer longer snoozes in proportion to their review cadence.
Dismissals and snoozes sync across your devices. Handle something on your laptop and it's gone from your phone too.
Why this instead of notification emails?
Email notifications put a second, worse copy of your work in a tool that can't act on it. The inbox is the same information, in the place where one click opens the item, and where "done" cleans up after itself. Wodo emails you about invitations and invoices; the rest stays here.
