Mark a conversation as unread after opening

Problem
Many teammates use unread as a lightweight follow-up system, but Front has no way to manually mark a conversation as unread once it has been opened — unlike Gmail and Outlook.

Request
Let teammates manually mark an opened conversation as unread.

    You already can do this, but I agree that the option to do so is hard to find, so I'm going to upvote this

    Hi there,

    You can actually mark conversations or individual messages as unread. Learn more here: https://help.front.com/en/articles/2164#mark_individual_messages_read_or_unread

    Let me know if you have any additional question!
