Inbox is a convenient [home view](/help/configure-home-view) if you
regularly clear all unread messages in your subscribed channels.

    To find recent conversations with no unread messages, use the [recent
    conversations](/help/recent-conversations) view instead.

## Use your inbox

    The arrow keys and vim navigation keys (<kbd>J</kbd>, <kbd>K</kbd>,
    <kbd>L</kbd>, <kbd>H</kbd>) can be used to move between elements.

## Filter conversations

### Filter by topic status

In the web app, you can control whether the **Inbox** includes all topics, just
[unmuted](/help/mute-a-topic) topics, or only topics you
[follow](/help/follow-a-topic).

{start_tabs}

{tab|desktop-web}

{!go-to-inbox.md!}

1. Select **All topics**, **Standard view**, or **Followed topics** from
   the dropdown in the upper left of the **inbox** view.

{end_tabs}

### Filter by keyword

{start_tabs}

{tab|desktop-web}

{!go-to-inbox.md!}

1. Use the **Filter** box at the top to find a conversation.
   You can filter by channel, topic, or direct message participants.

{end_tabs}
