<summary>What are Notifications?</summary>

Notifications are alerts that inform you about specific activities happening within HIVO that might interest you. These can be things like someone mentioning you in a comment, a file about to reach the end of its useful life, or consent time is almost over.

## How to Access Notification Settings

👉 To view your notification settings, **navigate to your "User Profile"** and click **"Notify Options"**.&#x20;

* This will show a list of all triggers that will send a notification to you, which may be toggled on/off.
* If you've verified your email address, you can also choose to receive email notifications for certain triggers (these will be off by default).

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** *Some notification options might only be available to users with specific permissions. For instance, only Admins can see notifications for new user signups.*
{% endhint %}

### Viewing Your Notifications

1. Click the bell icon in the top right corner of the screen.
2. You'll see a list of your notifications, sorted by most recent.

### Filtering and Managing Notifications

* Use the search bar to filter notifications by keywords like "nudge" or "comment."
* Click the "Tasks" or "Library" tabs to see notifications only from those areas.

Individual notifications can be removed by clicking the "X" icon next to them.

### Default Settings

By default, all notification triggers are enabled for in-app notifications but disabled for email notifications.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** *Managing your notification settings allows you to customize what information you receive and how you receive it. This helps ensure you stay informed about the most relevant activities within HIVO.*
{% endhint %}
