The notification center
The bell icon in the top navigation bar is your notification center. A small badge on the bell shows the number of unread notifications. Click the bell to open a dropdown panel listing your recent notifications. Notifications are host-facing only — they do not affect participants.What triggers a notification
Chain step needs your action
When a chain step reaches a state where the host must intervene before it can proceed, you receive a notification. This most commonly happens with host-assigned role chains, where you need to assign participants to roles before the step activates. The notification links directly to the step so you can assign roles without navigating manually. See Chains for more on host-assigned chains.Chain step completed
When a chain step finishes — either because all assigned participants have submitted, or because a quorum threshold was met — you receive a notification. This is your cue to review the step’s results and, if the chain does not advance automatically, take any next-step action.Project invitation
When someone adds you as a collaborator on a session or project, you receive a notification with details about what you have been invited to and at what role. The notification links to an invitation landing page where you can accept or decline.Managing notifications
Clicking a notification in the dropdown panel marks it as read and follows its link. You can also mark all notifications as read at once using the Mark all read option in the panel header. Notifications remain in the panel history after being read so you can refer back to them.The notification center polls for new items periodically and also refreshes when you return to the browser tab. There is no real-time push — if you are actively waiting for a chain to advance, refresh the page or check back in a minute.
