In-app notifications keep community members connected and engaged. They provide real-time updates on interactions like mentions and comments, so you are always in the loop. The bell icon simplifies navigation, helping you tell the difference between read and unread notifications and keep your feed organised.
To get the most from this feature, follow these steps:
Accessing Communities
Navigate to the "Memberships" tab on the left navigation menu. Select "Communities" and then "Groups".
Entering a Group
Create a new group or log into an existing one.
Locating the Notification Bell
Once inside the group, look for the bell icon at the top-right corner of the page.
Viewing Notifications
Click on the bell icon to reveal a drop-down menu displaying all your notifications.
You can toggle between viewing all notifications or just the unread ones.
After reviewing your notifications, you can mark them as read by selecting the three-dot menu. Once this is done, the Unread section will be cleared.
Following these steps will help you stay on top of activity in your community, so you never miss important updates or interactions.
