The New Updox Inbox: What’s Changed and Known Issues

Where things are in the new Updox Inbox, current known issues and workarounds, and how to switch back to the previous Inbox. Updated October 2026.

What is the new Inbox?

Updox released a new version of the Inbox with an updated look and layout. Most tools work the same way, but some buttons have moved, and a few features have known issues we’re working on.

If something isn’t working, you can switch back to the previous Inbox while we fix it.

How do I switch back to the previous Inbox?

  1. Select Switch Back in the top left of the Inbox.

  2. The previous Inbox opens.

Note: Switch Back lasts for your current session only. The next time you sign in, the new Inbox opens again.

How do I get back to the new Inbox?
Sign out and sign back in. If you still see the previous Inbox, clear your browser’s cache and cookies with the time range set to All time, then sign in again.

What are the known issues right now?

What’s happening

What to do for now

Appointment requests: selecting View/Change, Approve, or Deny does nothing

Use Switch Back to manage appointment requests.

Patient appointment history doesn’t show on the Portal tab in the Address Book

Use Switch Back to see it, or use the Appointments button in the left menu.

Fax confirmation: the blue Print button at the top is greyed out

Select Print from the left menu instead.

Fax markup and signature tools are missing

Clear your browser’s cache and cookies, then sign in again.

Send to EHR shows “At least 1 action is required”

Use Switch Back to send to the EHR.

Message formatting: bold text, line breaks, or blank lines (including from templates) may not appear as expected when the message is sent

Check your message before sending, or use Switch Back to send messages that need specific formatting.

New-item sound may not play while you’re working in the Inbox or when the Inbox tab is in the background

Watch the unread count, which still updates for every new item, or use Switch Back.

Faxing pages: only some pages are sent

In the new Inbox, only the pages you check are sent. Check every page you want to fax. Shift-click doesn’t select a range yet.

After archiving, the item stays selected, and your next download includes it

Turn on Refresh page after archiving/deleting an item in your user settings.

Faxing to an outside number: there’s no Quick send to this fax # option

Use Switch Back to send to a number that isn’t in your Address Book.

Default document category doesn’t appear

Use Switch Back to use your default category.

What about “An error occurred processing this item”?

This can happen when you take two actions on the same item at once, for example:

  • Faxing and sending to the EHR

  • Send and File

  • Sending to the EHR and the Patient Portal

What to do: Do each action separately. For example, send to the EHR first, then fax.

I don’t see something that used to be there. What should I do?

  1. Check the table under Where are things in the new Inbox?

  2. Clear any filters in the filter bar.

  3. Try Switch Back to see if the feature works in the previous Inbox.

  4. Still stuck? Chat with us and tell us:

    • What you were trying to do

    • Whether it works after Switch Back

    • Your browser (for example, Chrome or Edge)
