## Description

_**This is still a draft and needs to be discussed:**_

**As** a reader of the work package **Activity** tab  
**When** a new message arrives  
**I want to** be able to mark that message as "read"  
**so that** it does not continue to be listed in the notification center.  
**I also want to** be able to mark a message as unread so that I can ensure that work package stays listed in the notification center.

**Acceptance criteria**

*   On a journal entry I can click the blue dot to mark it as read. The blue dot disappears <-- This needs discussion as the undo of it is somewhat hidden in the three dots menu, see next criteria.
    
*   I the three dots context menu there are the entries "Mark as read" or "Mark as unread", depending on the current state of that journal entry.
    
*   Bonus (nice to have but probably needs some discussion):
    
    *   The current envelope button within the work package to mark as read does not disappear once it is clicked. It can get clicked again to mark the last journal entry as unread, which then ensures the work package stays listed in the notification center.
        
    *   When the envelope button gets toggled, the icon changes to a closed envelope with a dot.
