Attn Jaclyn: Present status request to add 'Mark Done' to other folders

I completely agree with Emmy. It would save us so much time if we didn't have to go through all those requests, especially in the folders 'Page Numbering Requests' and 'Book & Author Page Issues'.

That's a bit disappointing, Jaclyn. I hope your renewed bump will be more successful. In the meantime could some moderators be persuaded to spend their precious time in cleaning up the various folders and archive all closed topics?
Any update on this? Not being able to mark and see a post as done is definitely a huge time waster and source of frustration.
This option already exists on another folder so it SEEMS like it shouldn't be too hard to add for other folders.
Please make it easier for us Librarians to help Goodreads.

I lost hope that this would ever be done a long time ago...This task is in progress since January 2024 (https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...)

Another month has passed without an update... :-(May I repeat my request: "In the meantime could some moderators be persuaded to spend their precious time in cleaning up the various folders and archive all closed topics?"
There is a random one that was posted in the Announcements folder. I thought that was supposed to be for GoodReads employees only. I know that when we were asked for our opinions about folders that seemed to be the consensus.
I was curious about just how many requests were in the wrong folders. I started with Additions to Librarian Manual. There are 17 messages that need to be moved out of the folder.Does anyone think sending the list to support would do anything?
Here it is in case Jaclyn or someone else from support wants to move them.
These need to be archived:

This needs to be moved to Adding New Books & Editions folder:
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
This should go to Questions (from Librarians only):
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
As an aside I think that the phrase “Discussions from Librarians” would be a more fitting title. Yes, we ask questions there, but many times it is more than that.

Probably best to start a new discussion for these kinds of requests going forward, as this one was started for updates on archive functionality for added folders. 😊
On Jan. 15 you wrote elsewhere (in the topic 'Open letter' after your return from maternity leave):
"I've bumped the ability to archive requests in other folders, [...], internally."
Could you please inform us what the present status is and possibly also when we may expect this anxiously awaited feature to be rolled out to the folders other than 'Adding New Books/Editions'?
