The notifications panel is segregated into two tabs: Primary (for notifications related to task evaluation, unit sharing, and more) and Announcements (for notifications specific to announcements).

Unread notifications are indicated by numbered badges and red dots. Each notification includes an icon showing its source (e.g., Unit plan) and a brief description of the activity, along with the time it was received. You can click on any notification to go to the exact part of the platform where that notification was triggered.

Click on the ‘Mark all as read’ icon to mark all notifications as read. Additionally, the ‘Show only unread’ icon allows you to filter out the notifications that are unread, helping you manage large volumes efficiently.

Lastly, you can customize your notification preferences using the gear icon, which we will explore in detail in the next section.
