Managing Notifications
Learn how to view, organize, and manage your notifications.
The Notification Bell
The notification bell in the sidebar shows your recent notifications at a glance:
- Red badge: Shows the count of unread notifications (up to 9+)
- Dropdown: Click the bell to see your most recent notifications
- Quick actions: Mark as read, dismiss, or navigate from the dropdown
Dropdown features
- Mark all read: Button at the top to clear all unread notifications
- View all: Link to the full notifications page
- Real-time updates: New notifications appear instantly
Notification States
Each notification can be in one of these states:
| State | Appearance | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Unread | Blue highlight, bold text | New notification you haven't seen yet |
| Read | Normal appearance | You've viewed or clicked this notification |
| Dismissed | Removed from list | You've manually removed this notification |
Actions You Can Take
Mark as Read
Mark a notification as read by:
- Clicking on the notification (also navigates to related content)
- Clicking the checkmark icon on hover
- Using "Mark all read" for bulk action
Dismiss
Remove a notification from your list by clicking the X icon. This hides it from your notification feed but doesn't affect the underlying content.
Tip: Dismissed notifications can't be recovered. If you need to reference something later, consider marking as read instead of dismissing.
Navigate
Click on any notification to go directly to the related content:
- Mentions: Opens the meeting at the specific comment
- Shared meetings: Opens the shared meeting
- Action items: Opens the meeting with action items visible
- Organization invitations: Opens the invitations page to accept or decline
- Action item comments: Opens the Action Items page with the item highlighted and comments expanded
Notification Preferences
Customize your notification experience in Settings:
Team Mentions
- Enabled (default): Receive notifications when mentioned
- Disabled: No mention notifications (you'll still see mentions in comments)
Weekly Digest
- Enabled: Receive a weekly email summary every Monday
- Disabled (default): No weekly digest emails
Best Practices
- Check regularly: Review notifications daily to stay on top of mentions and action items
- Use mark all read: Clear the badge when you've reviewed notifications but don't need to act on them immediately
- Enable weekly digest: Great for getting a summary if you don't check the app daily
- Dismiss completed items: Keep your notification list clean by dismissing notifications you've handled
