A few words about the differences with the MMS:
- Articles expecting an action from you are specifically grouped into the to-do list.
- Outside this to-do list, papers are grouped according to the person expected to take action (usually authors or referees), status have been slightly refined.

- Speaking about lists, you can customise them to suit your needs exactly:
- which columns appear,
- how they are ordered.
