Notifications

Notifications collect what needs your attention across your apps. They reach you in two ways: the bell in the navbar, and browser alerts you switch on from the avatar menu.

The notifications inbox at /en/notifications is switched on per environment and is not on everywhere. Where it is off, the address returns This page could not be found and the bell does not appear. Everything below describes the surface where it is on.

Turn browser alerts on or off

1. Select your avatar.
2. Find the notifications row. It reads Notifications: Off with the line Get alerted for direct messages and mentions.
3. Select it and allow notifications in the browser prompt.

The row then reads Notifications: On. While it is being set up it reads Notifications: Turning on….

If your browser has already refused, the row reads Notifications: Blocked with Blocked by your browser. Open site settings from the address bar and allow notifications. Selecting it retries after you change the browser setting; Evolve cannot override that choice.

The bell

The bell carries a count of unread notifications, capped at 99+. Selecting it opens the most recent notifications, with Mark all read when any are unread, You're all caught up. when none are, and View all notifications at the bottom.

The inbox

/en/notifications is headed Notifications and lists your notifications newest first, with Load more at the end.

• Filter by app narrows the list to one app. The list starts on All apps, and the options are the apps that have actually sent you something.
• Unread only hides everything you have read.
• Mark all read marks everything in the current view. It asks first: Mark all as read? with This marks every notification in the current view as read.
• Hovering a row reveals Mark as read or Mark as unread for that row alone.
• Selecting a row marks it read and opens what it refers to.

Empty states: You have no notifications yet. with When something needs your attention across your apps, it will appear here., or, with a filter on, No notifications match and Clear filters.

Choose which apps notify you

Select the gear labelled Notification preferences, or open /en/notifications/preferences. The page is headed Notification preferences with Choose which apps send you in-app notifications.

Each app has one control with two options, Instant and Off. The five apps listed are AI Studio, Drive, Spaces, Relationships and GEMI. Changes save as you make them; there is no save button.

Reset to defaults returns every app to Instant after confirming Reset preferences?.

The page states Critical alerts are always delivered. Turning an app off does not suppress those.
