What it does
Updates collects your notifications — mentions, thread assignments, replies, kudos and flags. It powers the Updates counter and the bell in the top bar. Unlike your Tasks, Updates are dismissible: clear them as you read them.
Where to find it
Click the bell in the top bar for a quick view, click Updates in the navigation, or go to /dashboard/updates.
Step by step
Read and clear updates
- Open the bell or the Updates page.
- Click an update to jump straight to the thread it's about.
- Click the ✕ on an update to dismiss it, Mark all read to clear the unread count (keeping the
items), or Clear all to empty the whole inbox at once.
What each screen shows
- Bell dropdown — your most recent updates, a Mark all read action and a link to view all.
- Updates page — the full list, each tagged with its type (Mention, Assigned, Thread reply, Kudos received, Flag raised…), with per-item dismiss plus Mark all read and Clear all actions.
Tips
- An unread update highlights with a tinted background; dismissing it removes it for good.
- The red badge on the bell and the Updates nav item both reflect your unread count.
- Too noisy? In Settings → Notifications you can mute whole types (e.g. "Thread resolved") so they
never reach your bell — this only affects you.
Troubleshooting
- Too many updates? Use Mark all read to reset the counter without losing the items, or **Clear
all** to wipe the inbox entirely.
