Notifications and mute

1. Open the context menu on the conversation's row in the navigation column.
2. Open Notifications.
3. Choose All messages, Mentions, Nothing, or Use default ({{level}}).

The row menu also holds Mute notifications, with Mute for 15 minutes, Mute for 1 hour, Mute for 3 hours, Mute for 8 hours, Mute for 24 hours, and Mute until I unmute. Once a conversation is muted its menu shows Muted and a single Unmute.

Threads carry the same pair of settings on their own rows, so a noisy thread can be silenced without silencing its channel.

The default for everything

1. Choose your name at the bottom of the navigation column to open Spaces settings.
2. Under Notifications, choose All messages, Mentions, or Nothing.

This is your account-wide default. Any conversation left on Use default ({{level}}) follows it. The most specific setting wins: a thread's own setting overrides its channel's, and a channel's overrides your account default.

What mute changes and what it does not

Muting stops the notification and takes the conversation out of the Unread view and out of the unread roll-up; the row then reads Muted; excluded from roll-up. Two things still get through: a mention of you by name, and a conversation you marked as unread yourself. Setting the level to Nothing instead of muting shows Notifications off on the row.

Browser notifications

While a Spaces tab is open in the background, Spaces offers Stay up to date with Enable browser notifications for direct messages and Spaces mentions while this tab is in the background. Choose Enable notifications and allow the browser prompt. Not now dismisses it, and it does not come back on its own.
