Notifications

This page describes account, security, and invitation notifications that apply to any user on the platform — what they receive, and who is notified when they take action on their own account.

ReceiversWho is notified when the user performs the action (sent sections only)
NotesWhat the notification or action is about

Applies across roles for your own account actions and messages from administrators. You are usually not notified for your own action, except where you receive a confirmation or security message.

In-app notifications (bell)

Open the bell icon in the top bar to see your recent system notifications.

  • Notifications that link to content in the platform are clickable. Clicking one opens that content and marks the notification as read.
  • To mark a notification as read or unread without opening it, click the message icon on the right of the row.
  • Use Show only unread at the top of the dropdown (left of mark all as read) to list unread notifications only.
  • Use the mark-all icon in the header to mark every notification as read.
  • The list shows notifications from the last 30 days only. Older notifications are removed automatically. When you reach the end of the list (including after scrolling for more), a short note explains this.
