# Open and approve waiting messages straight from Home

> Every message waiting for your approval on Outreach Home now has a clear button that opens it, and you can work through just the messages, just the replies or just the comments.

## What this solves

- Home said "3 messages to approve", but opening the Accepted step listed the people who accepted most recently, so the people with a waiting message were often missing.
- When a waiting message did show, the only way into it was a small line of text that disappeared on narrow screens.
- The counts at the top of Home ("3 messages", "2 replies") could not be clicked; the only way in started with replies.

## What changed

- The Accepted step lists the people with a first message to approve first, each with a **Review** button that opens the message where you approve, edit or skip it.
- The Replied step lists the replies waiting for an answer first, each with an **Answer** button.
- Both steps offer **Approve N one by one** or **Answer N one by one** when something waits there.
- The replies, messages and comments counts at the top of Home open one by one with only that kind.

## Where to find it

- Outreach, Home: the counts at the top, or the Accepted and Replied steps.

## Useful for

- Salespeople who approve first messages every day.
- Sales leads checking what waits for one salesperson.
