Hi Kate. Please can you clarify footnote (2): Do agents want to know about any *received* offers, so they have a chance to counter-offer, or an *accepted* offer so they can delete the query/manuscript? Or both?

Both! Ideally you let agents know you have received an offer, so they have a chance to read your stuff and throw their hat in the ring, if they want. If you accepted an offer without giving them a chance to counter (which is fine!), let them know that, too, so they can take your query off the stack.
