Notifications

Notifications collect what needs your attention across your apps. They reach you in two ways: the bell in the navbar and, when browser permission is allowed, browser alerts.

Open the notifications inbox at /en/notifications, or use the bell in the navbar.

Browser alert status

Open Settings → Preferences. Under Browser notifications, Status reads Enabled or Not enabled. When it is not enabled, the page explains how to allow notifications in your browser settings.

Spaces may offer Stay in the know when browser alerts are available. Choose Enable notifications and allow the browser prompt. If the browser has already blocked notifications, change this site's permission in the browser settings before trying again.

Evolve shows the browser's current permission but does not override it. Turning browser notifications off or restoring a blocked permission remains a browser setting.

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.
