"You cannot delete your notifications yourself." Why not?

It's nice to remove a notification once I'm done looking at it. Why do we not get this option?

Hi John,

I'm guessing you mean the notification in the Confluence Workbox?

Workbox notifications will be automatically deleted after 2 weeks if you've read them, and after 4 weeks if you haven't read them, but there's no way to manually delete them.

This is a question I get a lot when I'm training people on Confluence, and I've never been able to find an answer. There isn't a ticket in requesting the functionality either (at least, not that I can find).

You must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.

I don't understand the scenario ..

A "notification" is an email sent to the various Users PC when something has changed in the system - it doesn't reside in Confluence itself.

Just a heads up: On March 24, 2025, starting at 4:30pm CDT / 19:30 UTC, the site will be undergoing scheduled maintenance for a few hours. During this time, the site might be unavailable for a short while. Thanks for your patience.
