This is a followup commit to #30824. Fixes https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/stream/9-issues/topic/.F0.9F.8E.AF.20help.20not.20updated.20for.20new.20preferences.20sections/near/1899330. git grep in the help directory will still show up results for `Advanced` but those are mostly used in either plain english language instructions or refer to some other part of the app. At the point of writing this commit, there were 6 results for `Advanced`, 4 of which were plain english, 1 refers to the Advanced settings in chrome for desktop notifications, and another one refers to `Advanced configurations` for channel settings.

# Configure unread message counters
|
|
|
|
To provide information about unread messages, Zulip can show unread message
|
|
counters next to channel names in the left sidebar. This is likely to be helpful
|
|
if you generally read (or otherwise [mark as read](/help/marking-messages-as-read))
|
|
all the messages in a channel, but may otherwise feel unnecessary.
|
|
|
|
Zulip offers an option to display a dot instead of an unread counter for channels
|
|
in the left sidebar. You can use a dot for all channels, or just for channels you
|
|
have [muted](/help/mute-a-channel). You will still be able to see the number of
|
|
unread messages in a channel by moving your mouse over it in the left sidebar.

|
|
**Show unread counts for** dropdown.
