# 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.
|
|
|
|
