Viewing messages in Outbox

• Messages are grouped by time periods such as:
  • This Week
  • Earlier
• Each item displays:
  • Channel name

This makes it easy to audit or revisit previously sent information.

​

Filtering Outbox Messages

Use the filters at the top to refine what you see:

This helps you quickly find messages based on where they were sent.

​

Export-related entries in Outbox

When you export a note or document:

• An entry is automatically created in the Outbox

This helps users confirm exports were triggered successfully.
