Change sorting and grouping

You can use the following options to choose how your notifications are organized: 

  • Group by date: Enable or disable notifications grouped by the date they were received. 
    • Notifications on the Important and Other tabs are grouped by the date of the notification, including Today, Yesterday, Last week, and Older.
    • Notifications on the Snoozed tab are grouped by the date they will unsnooze, including Today, Tomorrow, Next week, and Later.
  • Sort by newest first: Sort the Inbox notifications to show the most recent notifications first. 

Customize importance

Use the Customize importance option to choose the Workspace activity that you want to see on the Important tab in your Inbox. Any activity that you do not enable will appear on the Other tab.

Any changes to these settings will only apply to new notifications. Notifications received before making any changes will remain on the tabs where they were received.
