|  | 6 | +# Notifications | 
|  | 7 | + | 
|  | 8 | +With real-time notifications you stay informed and can take appropriate actions immediately. | 
|  | 9 | + | 
|  | 10 | +Notifications inform you about incoming assignments or requests, for example, when: | 
|  | 11 | + | 
|  | 12 | +- another user invites you to preview their work | 
|  | 13 | +- when items are assigned for [your review](../content_management/workflow_management/editorial_workflow.md#review-queue) | 
|  | 14 | +- when another user requests that you [release a lock](work_with_versions.md#release-locked-drafts) | 
|  | 15 | +- when items are [sent to trash](copy_move_hide_content.md#remove-content) | 
|  | 16 | + | 
|  | 17 | +## Access notifications | 
|  | 18 | + | 
|  | 19 | +At the top of the main screen you can see a top bar. | 
|  | 20 | +The top bar contains a notification icon. | 
|  | 21 | +When you receive a new notification, a badge appears on the notification icon, with a number of notifications that require your attention, and a message appears on the screen to notify you of new notifications. | 
|  | 22 | + | 
|  | 23 | + | 
|  | 24 | + | 
|  | 25 | +If you have already received notifications and didn't act on then, a number of notifications on the badge increases when you receive another one.  | 
|  | 26 | + | 
|  | 27 | + | 
|  | 28 | + | 
|  | 29 | +Click the notification icon to view a short list with the most recent notifications, arranged from newest to oldest. | 
|  | 30 | +Here, you can click certain notifications in the short list to act on them, according to their originator's request. | 
|  | 31 | + | 
|  | 32 | +You can click the three dots icon on the right side of each individual notification and mark it as read or delete it. | 
|  | 33 | +You can also click **Mark all as read** to mark all notifications as read. | 
|  | 34 | + | 
|  | 35 | + | 
|  | 36 | + | 
|  | 37 | +!!! note "Informative notifications" | 
|  | 38 | + | 
|  | 39 | +    Some notifications are informative only, and do not require your action. | 
|  | 40 | +    An example could be an information that scheduled publication of a content item has been cancelled. | 
|  | 41 | + | 
|  | 42 | +## View all notifications in Notifications screen | 
|  | 43 | + | 
|  | 44 | +The short list holds a limited number of notifications. | 
|  | 45 | +You can see all the notifications that you have received in the **Notifications** screen. | 
|  | 46 | + | 
|  | 47 | +1. In the top bar, click a notification icon. Then, at the bottom of the short list, click **View all notifications...**. | 
|  | 48 | + | 
|  | 49 | +    Here, you can see a list of notifications, together with information about their status and arrival date and time. | 
|  | 50 | + | 
|  | 51 | +     | 
|  | 52 | + | 
|  | 53 | +    !!! note "List pagination" | 
|  | 54 | +     | 
|  | 55 | +        The list can take more than one screen. If it is so, you can click the arrows and numbers at the bottom of the screen to navigate the list. | 
|  | 56 | + | 
|  | 57 | +2. Narrow down the list of displayed notifications by selecting one or more of the following filters: | 
|  | 58 | + | 
|  | 59 | +    - **Notification type**: for example, content item review request | 
|  | 60 | +    - **Status**: unread or read | 
|  | 61 | +    - **Date and time**: start and end of date range within which the notification was received | 
|  | 62 | + | 
|  | 63 | +     | 
|  | 64 | + | 
|  | 65 | +3. Click **Apply** to confirm your choices. | 
|  | 66 | + | 
|  | 67 | +4. To clear all the filters, click **Clear filters**. | 
|  | 68 | + | 
|  | 69 | +### Act on notifications | 
|  | 70 | + | 
|  | 71 | +In the notification screen, you can act on the notification to fulfill the request of the originator. | 
|  | 72 | + | 
|  | 73 | +To act on a notification, find it in the notifications list and click an icon next to the notification's date and time. | 
|  | 74 | +Depending on the context, the icon can be called differently, for example, **Go to content** or **Accept request**. | 
|  | 75 | + | 
|  | 76 | +### Delete notifications or change their status | 
|  | 77 | + | 
|  | 78 | +You may want to change the status of multiple or individual notifications in the **Notifications** screen, or even delete them completely. | 
|  | 79 | + | 
|  | 80 | +1. Use filters to find the notifications that you want to delete or change their status. | 
|  | 81 | + | 
|  | 82 | +2. To toggle the status of an individual notification, find it in the notifications list and, in its line, next to the notifications date and time, click an envelope icon. | 
|  | 83 | + | 
|  | 84 | +3. To delete multiple notifications at once or mark them as read, in the **Notifications** screen: | 
|  | 85 | + | 
|  | 86 | +    - select checkboxes next to notifications that you want to process | 
|  | 87 | +    - at the top of the list, click **Mark as read** or **Delete**. |
