Step by step

  1. 1

    Open the side menu.

  2. 2

    Press the Notifications bell in the box with your picture at the bottom.

  3. 3

    Read the list. To close the panel, press the arrow next to the Notifications title.

How it works

Keeps everything the platform has told you in one place so you don't miss a schedule change, a new charge or an answer to a request, in the browser and in the mobile app.

The Notifications button is a bell on the right of the box with your picture and name at the bottom of the side menu. The number on it is how many notifications are unread. On a phone the number also shows on the Open menu button, because the bell is inside the menu.

Pressing it opens a panel with your latest 20 notifications, newest first. As soon as the panel is open, the unread notifications shown are marked as read and the number disappears.

The list refreshes by itself, every 20 seconds while the panel is open and every minute while it is closed. There are no push notifications in the browser, so new notifications show up here.

You only get notifications for the kinds you haven't turned off in My Profile → Notifications. Turned-off ones don't appear in the panel either.

Good to know

Notifications without a linked page only describe the event. Some notifications, for example a reply from the Classes team to a ticket in Help desk and an offered plan choice, are buttons: pressing one closes the panel and opens the matching page.

The panel only shows the latest 20 notifications; older ones can't be reached from it.

The number on the button only counts the unread ones among the latest 20. Above 99 it shows "99+".

With the side menu collapsed on a computer, the bell isn't visible, expand the menu to use it.

Unread notifications counter

The number on the Notifications button.

Notification list panel

Notifications

The slide-out panel with your latest 20 notifications.

Shows your notifications, newest first.

At the top is the Notifications heading and an arrow that closes the panel. Below are the notifications. Opening the panel marks the unread notifications shown as read.

Notification in the list

One notification with a title, date and short text.

Tells you briefly what happened, who published an announcement or which group accepted you, for example.

Shows a title, a date (day, month and year) and a text with details. Unread notifications have a tinted background, a bold title and a dot in front of it. Pack renewal reminders have a wallet icon, and notifications from the Classes team a lifebuoy icon.

A notification with a linked page, for example a reply to a ticket in Help desk or an offered plan choice, is a button: pressing it closes the panel and opens the page. The other notifications can't be pressed.

"You have no new notifications." message

Shown when you have no notifications at all.

Confirms there's nothing to look at.

Appears in the panel when your notification list is empty.

Frequently asked questions

How do I stop a certain kind of notification?

Open **My Profile** → **Notifications** and turn off the kinds you don't want. They stop both in the panel and as push notifications on your phone.

Can I delete a notification?

No. Notifications can only be read; older ones drop out of the panel as new ones arrive.
