Inbox Overview
The Inbox can be used to view your current questions and notifications, the alerts you are signed up to receive, and the projects for which you owe a status report.
The Inbox is accessed by clicking the Inbox button in the Header. If you have unacknowledged items in your Inbox, a number will be displayed next to the Inbox button to show you how many items are waiting.
