Hi  -

 

On the side of a QuickBooks Community post / discussion, there are three dots in the upper right corner and another three dots even further on the right.

 

If you click on the first set of dots, you’ll see these options below.  Can you explain what these do?

 

Mark New

Subscribe

Permalink

If you click on the second set of dots even further on the right, you'll see these options.

 

What do these mean?

 

Mark Topic As New

Float this topic for current user

Sort By Topics

Sort Newest To Oldest

Do you know if there's an article somewhere on this site that explains these features?

(I searched earlier, but didn't find one.)

 

 

Thank you in advance for the feedback!
