Bug: In beta, left panel Inbox thinks it's Mentions (and what happened to Inbox?)

[michael (Michael Ehling)]

On 4.3.2610021231 [beta, ff, linx] and 4.3.2609301355-beta [desktop, linx], tapping Inbox brings me to the Mentions screen. But on production (4.3.2609291146 [ff, linx]), Inbox is no longer there and Mentions shows where I’ve always expected Inbox to be.

So:

1. Is this bug something wonky in my account or in the beta code?
2. What happened to Inbox on the left panel?

Confirmed on 4.3.2610021231 [beta, edge, win]

I don’t notice this because I have my inbox starred and clicking there works as expected.

I also notice this on mobile: 4.3.2610022214 [cap, android-17]: tap Inbox in sidebar menu, see Mentions screen.

Title : Inconsistency in UI naming : “Inbox” vs “Mentions” / Comments

Body : Hi WorkFlowy Team,

I noticed the sidebar feature previously named “Mentions” was recently updated to “Inbox”, but the rest of the interface still refers to it as “Mentions” or “Comments”, creating confusion :

1. Redundant Naming : Many users (myself included) already maintain a dedicated inbox node in their outline hierarchy. Adding a system “Inbox” right above home creates visual clutter and semantic overlap.

2. Icon & Feature Mismatch : The panel item is titled “Inbox”, but it uses a speech bubble / comment icon, displays all comments, and directly maps to settings labeled “Email notifications for mentions”.

3. Shortcut Disconnect : The context menu shortcut to add a comment is Ctrl + M (or Cmd + M), where M clearly stands for Mentions.

Having “Inbox” in the sidebar while Settings say “Mentions” and the menu action creates “Comments” makes the workflow feel fragmented. Keeping consistent terminology across the UI (or allowing users to toggle/rename system sections) would make much more sense.

Thanks for considering !

PS: let’s not forget about is:draft AND is:comment

For those who don’t want to see this monstrosity at the moment in the sidebar (app/web) !

all updates, (fractal) comments, mentions, drafts, INBOX ???

[calsi (Cal)]

Do you have fractal comments switched on or off in settings?

[michael (Michael Ehling)]

I had both Fractal Comments and All Updates on. If I shut them both off, the menu items called All Updates and Inbox disappear. If I turn off only Fractal Comments, the menu items remain and Inbox still brings me to Mentions.

Yeah I forgot the All updates switch. Oops.
