Ability to archive individual inbox notifications for tasks due today

I depend on the inbox to help me keep track of what’s left to do. With the new update, I can no longer archive individual tasks because tasks are grouped together. This is very problematic for my use case and clutters my inbox unnecessarily. Please change it back or create an option to use it both ways! Thanks!

You can still archive individual task, the icon is just not visible until you hover

moving this thread to the #tipsandtricks category! Let us know if you were able to find the option, @anon94190941 :slight_smile:

Thanks for responding! That only works for tasks in specific projects. I was referring to those in “Your Tasks for [insert date]” Those are not able to be individually archived and I used that function a lot before!

Hi Emily! I just double checked. That only works for tasks in specific projects. I was referring to those in “Your Tasks for [insert date]” Those are not able to be individually archived and I used that function a lot before!

You’re right, there is no option to archive individual task in ‘Your task for today’ :thinking:

While you can’t archive these individual tasks, the completed ones do move to the bottom of the grouping. Furthermore, this is a dynamic grouping so as you assign more items with a due date of today, they will show in this list. It makes for a great quick reference to what is due today.

I agree it would be nice to archive individual items that are completed, but very pleased to see it is a “smart list”

Agreed with @anon94190941 that this update removed good functionality by not allowing individual inbox notifications to be removed/archived from the inbox view. The grouping by date doesn’t really help because they were already basically ordered as the tasks came due and I use the inbox to know which tasks I need to do across all my projects. With many tasks on a single day, need a way to clear out the complete ones while still being able to leave the unfinished ones in the inbox view. I would not consider this a Tips and Tricks but a feature request.

Hi all! I’ve moved this thread to the #productfeedback category and updated the title to make it more discoverable for other customers that would like to upvote. Although we don’t have plans to implement this feature, please add your votes and I’ll keep you posted if we have any news! Thanks!

Thanks @Emily_Roman

Hi. I want to +1 this.

Some grouping of “this is in the inbox because of ‘due today’” was a nice addition - because it was mainly tasks I had “sent” to myself.

But I used to move through the inbox with ctrl+enter for tasks i quickly did, and ‘e’ to archive it if it was bigger task that I had planned for that day.

That does not really work anymore.

If those buttons moved through the tasks one by one again I would be happy. If I wanted to archive all I could learn another button, or use the mouse.

Hi - make sure to add your vote at the top of this thread so Asana knows that this is a feature that needs attention and add it back in. This change negatively impacted how I used the platform so I hope this can be added back in.
