Read your queue
Every post from every feed, newest first: narrow it, mark it read, and open a post.
What the queue holds
Reading is one list of every post from every feed you follow, newest first, and it keeps going as you scroll. Each feed's own page, under Feeds in the sidebar, is the same list narrowed to that feed.
Show all, unread or read
Beside the heading, Show picks All, Unread or Read. The choice is part of the page's address, so a bookmark keeps it, and it works together with a search.
Mark posts read
- One post: press the mark at the start of its row, or press m. On a phone, swipe the row sideways. Press it again to mark it unread.
- One feed: on the feed's page, press Mark feed read.
- Everything: on Reading, press Mark all read and confirm.
Open a post
Press a post's title to open it on the publisher's site; that marks it read. Press Read here to open it inside Reader instead, with the feed's title, author, date and excerpt, and a link to Open the original. A podcast or video attached to a post plays right there, in your browser's own player.
On Paid and Premium, the post's page also fetches the whole article behind the link and shows it in place, naming the publisher.
If the article does not appear, see The article won't load in Reader.
When new posts arrive
When you open Reader it already knows which feeds have something new. It says how many feeds have posts on the way and brings them in behind the page. To look right now, press Check all on Reading, or r.
Questions
Why did older posts leave my queue?
Each feed keeps its posts for a span you choose, from three hours to forever. Read or not, older posts leave; saved posts always stay. See Follow and manage feeds.
Where did a post go that the feed stopped listing?
When a feed says it lists everything it has, a post it drops leaves your list too, unless you saved it.
