In Jestor's internal chat, a new category automatically separates conversations where you were mentioned, showing how many times that happened in each channel — and a button lets you mark all unread messages as read at once.

## Why does filtering mentions in internal chat matter?

In teams with high message volume, it's easy to lose track of what actually needs attention — a direct mention — in the middle of general conversations that don't require an immediate reply.

## How do mentions and mark-as-read work in Jestor?

- A new mentions category appears separate from the rest of the conversations, showing which channels you were mentioned in and how many times in each.
- You can focus on just that category, setting the rest of the chat aside.
- A mark-as-read button clears all unread messages at once, mentioned or not.
- These two improvements work together: you can closely follow just the important mentions and, whenever you want, clear the rest of the chat with one click.

| Feature           | Needs manual activation?                         |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| Mentions category | No, appears automatically                        |
| Mark all as read  | No, button available on the conversations screen |

To use mentions and mark-as-read:

1. Open the mentions category, already available automatically in the chat.
2. Track which channels you were mentioned in.
3. Use the mark-as-read button to clear unread messages at once.

## Why choose Jestor to avoid missing important messages?

Since internal chat already replaces WhatsApp groups and other scattered conversations, having a quick way to separate direct mentions from general conversation prevents important messages from getting lost in the volume.
