How do I mark documents read or unread?


You can mark documents as "read" or "unread" yourself, without having to open the documents:

Tip: The quickest way to mark something read or unread, is to select the document and click Insert. (Macintosh users, use instructions below)
  1. Select documents by clicking next to each one in the left column, or by clicking the document title. (It depends on which application the documents are in.)
  2. Click Edit > Unread Marks.
  3. Select one of the following:
    • Mark Selected Read - to mark the selected documents as read
    • Mark All Read - to mark all documents in the application as read
    • Mark Selected Unread - to mark the selected documents as unread
    • Mark All Unread - to mark all documents in the application as unread
When you choose to mark all documents read or unread, you will get a prompt window to confirm that you want to do that. To disable (or re-enable) the prompt.
  • In notes standard, click File > Preferences > Basic Notes Client Configuration, and under Additional Options, select or deselect Do not prompt when marking all documents read or unread.
  • In Notes basic, click File > Preferences > User Preferences, and under Additional Options, select or deselect Do not prompt when marking all documents read or unread.
