Where to find it

Notifications are available from the dashboard, notification bell, and notification settings page.

Before you start

Sign in so events can be connected to your account.
Open notification settings to choose which event types are active.
Review unread items before clearing old notifications.

Important details

Settings include following activity, comments, beta reader access, beta notes, beta status, messages, moderation, and system events.
Notifications often link directly to the related work, comment, message, or moderation page.
Disabling a category stops new alerts for that category but does not necessarily delete old ones.
Some system or moderation events may be important even if you keep most notifications quiet.

Main actions

  1. Open the notification bell or dashboard page
  2. Review unread events
  3. Follow the link to the related page
  4. Clear old notifications when needed

If something does not work

Too many notifications.

Disable categories you do not need in notification settings.

Expected notification did not appear.

Check whether that category is disabled and whether the triggering event actually occurred.

The counter looks stale.

Refresh the page or open the notifications page to force a reload.
