Finding unread documents:

The idea of "read" vs. "unread" messages in email is generally well understood. Fortunately, Lotus Notes extends the concept of showing if you have read a document or not to any Notes application. For example, when you are reading a Discussion Database, or a Document Library, it is easy to tell which documents you have looked at and which you have not. Also, if you have read a document and later that document is updated, it will once again appear unread to you, so you know to go back and look at it again.

Today's tip is about easily navigating to unread documents within views of a database.

For people that like to use the keyboard, you have two options:
- F4 or TAB will move you to the next (down in the view) unread document.
- SHIFT+F4 or SHIFT+TAB will take you to the previous (up in the view) unread document.

If you prefer to use your mouse, Lotus Notes has Next and Previous Unread toolbar icons.
