Why can't I see some of my items?

Your filters may be hiding them. Check these:

  • Look for numbers on the filter buttons. A number, like Spaces 1, means that filter is on.

  • Click All in each filter to show everything again.

  • Check your sort. To see today's items, sort by Added (newest first) and go to the first page.

  • Check your access. Items in a queue or the practice inbox only show if you have access.
