You'll learn how to: Send a card off your daily feed when you don't want to act on it right now, without losing the contact or the underlying nudge.
Time: 1 second.
Dismiss vs. Skip vs. Snooze
The daily feed has three close-button shapes for similar-but-different intents:
- Dismiss (X icon, "Dismiss for today"): take the card off today's queue. It can come back tomorrow if the underlying signal is still active.
- Skip (forward-arrow icon, "Skip for now"): push the card to the back of today's queue. You'll see it again later in the same session.
- Snooze (alarm-clock icon): pick Tomorrow, 2 days, 1 week, or Next Monday. Card is hidden until then.
Dismiss is the most common. Use it when "not today, but I don't want to commit to a return date."
Steps
Mouse / trackpad
- Open Today from the left sidebar.
- On the focused (front) card, find the X button at the bottom of the action row. Its tooltip reads "Dismiss for today".
- Click it.
- The card slides off and the next one moves into focus.
Touch device
- On the focused card, drag from right to left across the card body.
- A red "Dismiss" overlay appears as you drag.
- Release once the overlay is fully visible. The card animates out.
If you let go before the threshold, the card snaps back.
What got recorded
- The card is marked dismissed for today against your user.
- The underlying contact, deal, or nudge is unchanged. You did NOT mark anything done.
- If the same signal is still relevant tomorrow, the feed can resurface a card on the same contact.
When to use Dismiss vs. the other options
| Situation | Best choice |
|---|---|
| "I'll do it later today." | Skip |
| "Not today, ask me tomorrow." | Dismiss |
| "Not until next week / next Monday / a specific date." | Snooze |
| "I already did this." | Log call / Log meeting / Add note (see Log a call from the daily feed) |
| "This contact is irrelevant to me." | Open the contact and adjust the rhythm. Dismissing only handles today. |
If something goes wrong
- Symptom: "I dismissed by accident." → Fix: There's no per-card undo. Refresh the daily feed and look for the card. If it's gone for today, you can either find the contact directly or wait for tomorrow's resurface.
- Symptom: "The same card came back the next day." → Fix: Dismiss is for one day. The underlying rhythm or nudge keeps firing. To stop it for good, open the contact and pause or retune the rhythm. See Snooze a rhythm reminder.
- Symptom: "Approval cards (AI drafts) don't dismiss on swipe." → Fix: Swipe is disabled for approval items by design. Use the explicit X / Reject button on the card.
- Symptom: "The card flickered but didn't go away." → Fix: Brief network blip. Try again. If it persists, refresh.
