Overwrite Instances in User Inbox

[system]

Hi,

Is it possible to overwrite user report instances in the inbox of each user?
We have a publication which destination is the inbox of a group of users, but each time we execute the publication, it generates a new instance in the inbox, that means that it will grow drastically. Is there any solution for this topic??

Regards,

I hope this can help you.
