The conversion script for help-beta assumes that all items in a numbered list start with 1. which was a wrong assumption. This commit attempts to fix that. We are not introducing any lint step to tackle this since it will be easy to just check for this again before the cutover happens. We do not change this for `numbered-list-examples.md` since that example shows how the current numbered lists work and we might still want to show that. We can decide what to do with that file once the time of cutover arrives.

# Marking messages as read
|
|
|
|
Zulip automatically keeps track of which messages you have and haven't read.
|
|
Unread messages have a line along the left side, which fades when the message
|
|
gets marked as read.
|
|
|
|
Zulip offers tools to manually mark one or more messages as read, and you can
|
|
configure whether messages are marked as read automatically when you scroll.
|
|
|
|
## Configure whether messages are automatically marked as read
|
|
|
|
You can choose how messages are automatically marked as read in the Zulip web
|
|
and mobile apps. You can configure the mobile app differently from the
|
|
web/desktop app.
|
|
|
|
- **Always**: Messages are marked as read whenever you scroll through them in
|
|
the app. You may be used to this from other chat applications.
|
|
- **Only in conversation views**: In Zulip, a **conversation** is a [direct
|
|
message](/help/direct-messages) thread (one-on-one or with a group), or a
|
|
[topic in a channel](/help/introduction-to-topics). This option makes it
|
|
convenient to preview new messages in a channel, or skim [Combined
|
|
feed](/help/combined-feed), and later read each topic in detail.
|
|
- **Never**: Messages are marked as read only
|
|
[manually](#mark-all-messages-as-read). For example, if you often need to
|
|
follow up on messages at your computer after reading them in the mobile app,
|
|
you can choose this option for the mobile app.

## Configure whether resolved topic notices are marked as read
|
|
|
|
Zulip lets you automatically mark as read [notification
|
|
bot](/help/configure-automated-notices) notices indicating that someone
|
|
[resolved or unresolved](/help/resolve-a-topic) a topic, or do so just for
|
|
topics you don't follow.

## Mark all messages as read
|
|

|
|
