> Instead of unsubscribing, you have the option to ignore a repository. If you ignore a repository, you won't receive any notifications.

## Choosing how to unsubscribe

To unwatch (or unsubscribe from) repositories quickly, navigate to [github.com/watching](https://github.com/watching) to see all the repositories you're following. For more information, see "[Unwatching repositories](#unwatching-repositories)."
To unwatch (or unsubscribe from) repositories quickly, navigate to [github.com/watching](https://github.com/watching) to see all the repositories you're following. For more information, see [Unwatching repositories](#unwatching-repositories).

To unsubscribe from multiple notifications at the same time, you can unsubscribe using your inbox or on the subscriptions page. Both of these options offer more context about your subscriptions than the "Watched repositories" page.

### Benefits of unsubscribing from your inbox

When you unsubscribe from notifications in your inbox, you have several other triaging options and can filter your notifications by custom filters and discussion types.

## Diagnosing why you receive too many notifications

When your inbox has too many notifications to manage, consider whether you have oversubscribed or how you can change your notification settings to reduce the subscriptions you have and the types of notifications you're receiving. For example, you may consider disabling the settings to automatically watch all repositories {% ifversion team-discussions %}and all team discussions{% endif %} whenever you've joined a team or repository.

## Reasons for receiving notifications

Your inbox is configured with default filters, which represent the most common reasons that people need to follow-up on their notifications.

For more information about inbox filters, see [AUTOTITLE](/account-and-profile/managing-subscriptions-and-notifications-on-github/viewing-and-triaging-notifications/managing-notifications-from-your-inbox#default-notification-filters).

Your inbox shows the `reason` you're receiving a notification as a label, such as, `mention`, `subscribed`, or `review requested`.

You can filter your inbox by the reason you're subscribed to notifications. For example, to only see pull requests where someone requested your review, you can use the `reason:review-requested` query filter.

If you've configured notifications to be sent by email and believe you're receiving notifications that don't belong to you, consider troubleshooting with email headers, which show the intended recipient. For more information, see "[AUTOTITLE](/account-and-profile/managing-subscriptions-and-notifications-on-github/setting-up-notifications/configuring-notifications#filtering-email-notifications)."

* **Save** a notification for later review. **Saved** notifications are flagged in your inbox. You can review **Saved** notifications all in one place in the sidebar by clicking **Saved** or by using the query `is:saved`.
* Automatically unsubscribe from this notification and future updates from this conversation. Unsubscribing also removes the notification from your inbox. If you unsubscribe from a conversation and someone mentions your username or a team you're on that you're receiving updates for, then you will start to receive notifications from this conversation again.

From your inbox you can also triage multiple notifications at once.
