We just upgraded to Mattermost 4.7 but there is no "Unreads" Sidebar Setting in the front-end. I can find it in the Mattermost peer-to-peer channel, so I know where it should be, but in our installation the feature is not visible.
Does anyone know what we are missing? We are not using the Enterprise version, but according to the documentation this should be in the community edition.
As this is an experimental feature, you need to enable it in your config.json file before the setting will become available in individual users' Account Settings. To do this, in the ServiceSettings block of config.json you should set ExperimentalGroupUnreadChannels to either default_on or default_off (to have it be enabled or disabled by default respectively).
