Short answer

They are event names your code already sends that have no definition — often a hurried track('checkout_v2'). They keep being stored, so no data is lost, but they clutter the event picker. Give them a definition, or set it to Blocked to stop storing them.

Names with no definition

The inbox lists names your code already sends that have no definition — typically a track('checkout_v2') someone added in a hurry. They keep being stored, so no data is lost, but they clutter the event picker. Give them a definition, or set the definition to Blocked to stop storing them.

The definitions tab is your tracking plan

The Event definitions tab doubles as a tracking plan: every official event, who owns it and when it was last seen. Export it before a release to confirm nothing broke.

Blocking an event stops future storage but does not delete history already collected under that name. To remove stored rows, use export and deletion.
