The Enquiries screen appears only when your site has the enquiries form, which
every new site starts with. It shows that one form's messages; any other form
you add keeps its messages on its own table under Database.

The screen lists messages newest first, one page at a time, with the count of
the whole form above them. Long answers appear beneath the shorter fields so
the message stays readable.

What says a message arrived is an email to you and a highlighted row here. The
alert sits on the message itself rather than on
[Notifications](/dashboard/notifications/), and it stops being unread once you
hover over or click that row, which is also what the count beside **Enquiries**
in the sidebar is counting. None of that touches the message: nothing here marks
a message read, answered, or dealt with. If somebody else is on the site, their
highlight waits until they come and look themselves.

Only someone signed in to your account can read these records. They are not
available to public pages or to a connected coding agent. Use the delete
control on a message's row when you no longer need it. Nothing else removes
one, unless you give the Enquiries table a number of days to [keep its rows
for](/dashboard/database/#how-long-a-table-keeps-its-rows) on Database.

If your site has no enquiries form, the entry stays out of the sidebar rather
than leading to an empty inbox.
