The new green pop-ups at the bottom of the screen when task status is modified, such as if you click work on it the pop-up says “You’ve started working on this. The status is now in progress.” or when you remove your assignment it says “You’ve stopped working on this, the status is now new” are persistent and must be manually dismissed by users even after navigating to other objects. While having the pop-up is helpful for confirmation, we need the ability to have those auto-dismiss after a few seconds or at least have it disappear when moving to a different object in Workfront.

We have users who are moving quickly through the system who now feel disrupted by having to click another item to dismiss after already clicking to change the task. They often move on quickly until these pile up at the bottom of their screen, then have to dismiss each individually. Which a large volume of work as is, any extra clicks are cumbersome to users. 

Thank you so much!

Thank you, ​@brittanylang, for posting this idea. I’ve been meaning to suggest it since those popups began.
