Notifications

What triggers a notification

Notifications fall into six categories: achievement, learning, social, community, system, and message. A system notification, such as BYTE's usage-budget alert, is an operational notice rather than a gamification nudge.

Manage your notifications

Open the notifications panel from the bell in the header. Choose Mark all read to mark the applicable notifications as read, or act on a single notification's own action when it has one. Read entries remain in All and no longer appear in Unread; this action does not delete notification history. Peer-message read state is handled in the conversation.

1. Choose the bell icon to open Notifications.
2. Read a notification, or choose its own action if it has one.
3. Choose Mark all read to update unread indicators, then use All to see both read and unread notifications.
