Update Bubble Color to actually be meaningful?

[tara]

Is there anyway the update bubble can change to blue when there is an update that a user has not seen?? It would really help when you are glancing at a board to see what updates you have not seen. As someone who manages tasks, I would imagine that a lot of people have this issue so is there anyway to make it relevant?? This is such a basic feature and kind of sad that it is not available.

Hi @tara,

Is this the same as the feature request you raised last year?

Ideas to make remote working easier

During this time, when everyone is working remotely, here are some ideas that I think would make a huge difference. The conversation bubble - it should be blue when you have a new unread comment and gray when you already read the comment. This way someone can just look at a board and see everything new for them. Inbox - replies when you are tagged should be listed there, NOT just the first time that you are tagged ( I heard that you are working on this) Have a number showing you the upd…

FWIW, I completely agree with your request. Read/unread would be far more useful than the currently meaningless (to us): “blue when less than 7 days old”.

Yes, it is the same request - Maybe this time someone will listen ;-). I just get so frustrated sometimes when I have a lot of tasks to check in to and can’t easily see what is new for me by glancing at a board. It is just seems so simple and it will have such a huge affect for managers specifically. It boggles my mind how Monday who is so focused on making so many changes and improving the platform, is still missing some of the basics like this.

We would also find this very useful!

I hear you @tara. I’d love to see many of the basic feature requests submitted here over the 24 months implemented.

We seem to get llama farms and clapper Chrome extensions (?) but little attention on basic productivity features to make Monday.com truly useful.

I honestly can’t believe this option hasn’t been implemented yet. It would be incredibly useful, and if monday.com doesn’t want to overwrite this functionality, simply maybe adding a red dot next to the update bubble indicating unread updates would be so very nice for a large amount of workflows I imagine.

Replying in hopes of upping the attention to this. Competing products display read/unread status relative to the viewer (user). It’s not a big lift, and it is essential for an organization to make the commitment to Monday as one of the central enablers of their work flow.

@amber @Julietteb any updates on this?

I would also love this feature, having to go to the update feed to find a jumbled pile of unread messages spreading across 25 projects is just not an efficient time method imo.
