# Notifications

> Keep up with mentions, replies, reactions, direct messages, and workspace updates.

Notifications collect activity that may need your attention. Select the bell in the left rail or press **Command +
Shift + M** on Mac or **Ctrl + Shift + M** on Windows and Linux.

## Use the notification views

| View          | What it helps you find                              |
| ------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| **All**       | Every recent notification                           |
| **Threads**   | Replies and activity in message threads             |
| **Mentions**  | Messages where someone mentioned you                |
| **Reactions** | Emoji reactions to your messages                    |
| **Updates**   | App, integration, workspace, and automation updates |

Select a notification to open its message, conversation, canvas, or workspace. Related activity may be grouped so you
can scan it without reading many repeated items.

Use **Mark all as read** after you have reviewed the list. Clearing a notification removes it from the feed; it does not
delete the original message or event.

## Desktop notifications

Your browser or the macOS app can show system notifications when Mantle is not in front. Allow notifications when your
device asks, then review notification preferences in **Settings → Preferences**.

If notifications do not appear:

1. check Mantle's notification preferences;
2. check the browser or macOS permission for Mantle;
3. make sure Focus or Do Not Disturb is not hiding them;
4. use the notification test in settings when available.

## Reduce noise

* Use threads so replies stay connected to the right topic.
* Mention a person only when their attention is needed.
* Tune preferences instead of ignoring the whole inbox.
* Keep automation results in a channel made for those updates.

<Tip>
  Treat Mentions and Threads as your action list, then scan Updates for automation failures or connected-app events.
