Notifications tell you when something Atlas was doing in the background has finished, such as a page that completed generating while you were elsewhere. Open them from the bell in the dashboard header, which shows a blue dot when you have unread notifications. Screen readers announce the count, for example Notifications (3 unread).

The panel is headed Notifications. If there is nothing to show, it reads No notifications yet.

Each notification is timestamped relatively: Just now, then minutes, hours or days, such as 5m ago, 3h ago, Yesterday and 4d ago. After a week it shows the date, such as Oct 12.

Something still running shows In progress... rather than an action. That is normal for a generation or import that has not finished. You do not need to keep the panel open: the work continues whether or not you are watching, and the notification updates when it completes.

A finished notification carries a button that takes you straight to the thing it is about:

Select Mark as read on a single notification, or Mark all as read at the top of the panel. A notification you have read can be set back with Mark as unread.

Marking a notification read has no effect on the thing it refers to. It only clears the count.

Notifications are not removed when their subject is. If you delete a page, bundle or cart drawer, its notification stays in the list, and selecting its action shows a message instead of opening anything:
