# List and acknowledge messages from the dashboard

**Last reviewed:**  almost 3 years ago 

Use the dashboard to fetch and acknowledge the messages currently in a queue.

## List messages from the dashboard

Listing messages from the dashboard allows you to debug Queues or queue producers without a consumer Worker. Fetching a batch of messages to preview will not acknowledge or retry the message or affect its position in the queue. The queue can still be consumed normally by a consumer Worker.

To list messages in the dashboard:

1. In the Cloudflare dashboard, go to the **Queues** page.  
[ Go to **Queues** ](https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/workers/queues)
2. Select the queue to preview messages from.
3. Select the **Messages** tab.
4. Select **List**.
5. When the list of messages loads, select the blue arrow to the right of each row to expand the message preview.

This will preview a batch of messages currently in the Queue.

## Acknowledge messages from the dashboard

Acknowledging messages from the [Cloudflare dashboard ↗](https://dash.cloudflare.com) will permanently remove them from the queue, with equivalent behavior as `ack()` in a Worker.

1. Select the checkbox to the left of each row to select the message for acknowledgement, or select the checkbox in the table header to select all messages.
2. Select **Acknowledge messages**.
3. Confirm you want to acknowledge the messages, and select **Acknowledge messages**.

This will remove the selected messages from the queue and prevent consumers from processing them further.

Refer to the [Get Started guide](https://developers.cloudflare.com/queues/get-started/) to learn how to process and acknowledge messages from a queue in a Worker.
