Hello! I’ve searched both in the Discourse admin tools and on this forum, but couldn’t find an obvious answer - apologies if this is something very simple!

I was a little confused when I used the mark unread feature recently. I clicked the button at the bottom of the topic so I could get back to it later.

Let’s say you are reading this very valuable post of mine here. And you can tell even after reading just a word or two that you want to mark it unread right now without further ado.

All the posts about deferring seem to be broken, like the first one here mentioning the defer feature being “shipped”.. https://meta.discourse.org/t/defer-keyboard-shortcut/ I turned on the “Enable defer topic function… --- ## [Is the Defer button a new feature?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/is-the-defer-button-a-new-feature/263098)

I read a new topic and wanted to see it fresh tomorrow morning. I selected the defer option, expecting it to also mark the topic as new again since it only had the one post, but this did not happen.

I just discovered the “Defer” button. But I’m a bit unhappy. I’m on the “Latest” list, going through topics. Then I open a topic and decide to defer it to later, so I press “Defer”.
