# In-app notifications

> Read workspace and project events in the notification center, and choose which App events you receive.

In-app notifications are managed **per member** and appear in the bell in the
upper-right corner. The **App** method is always on: you cannot turn it off, but
you still choose which events land in the **App** tab and which projects you
follow.

For how **App** and **Email** columns work on the same events, see
[Email notifications](https://docs.openlayer.com/notifications/email.md).

## Open the notification center

**1. Open the bell**

Click the bell in the upper-right corner. The tooltip is **Notifications**,
or `{n} unread` when you have unread items.

**2. Review the list**

The popover title is **Notifications**. Events are grouped under **Today**,
**Yesterday**, **This week**, **This month**, and **Older**.

## App vs Changelog vs Invites

The notification center has three tabs:

* **App** — workspace and project events you receive through the **App**
  method.
* **Changelog** — product updates.
* **Invites** — workspace invitations.

## Unread and mark all as read

In the **App** tab you can:

* Toggle **Only show unread** to hide items you have already read.
* Click **Mark all as read** to clear the unread state for every item.

Empty states depend on the filter:

* With **Only show unread** on and nothing left to read: **No unread
  notifications** and **You're all caught up on notifications.**
* With no activity yet: **No activity yet, check back later.**
* **Configure notifications** opens your personal notification settings.

## Configure App events

**1. Open your personal notification settings**

Click your workspace name in the upper-left corner and select **Settings**.
In the sidebar, under **Account settings**, click **Notifications**. You can
also use **Configure notifications** from the notification center.

**2. Review notification methods**

Under **Personal notifications**, **Notification methods** lists **App**
(with an **Always on** tag), **Slack**, and **Email**. You cannot disable
**App**.

**3. Choose which events appear in-app**

Under **Workspace notifications** and **Project notifications**, events are
grouped into **General**, **Development**, and **Monitoring**. Each event
has an **App** column and an **Email** column. Use the **App** checkboxes
for the notification center; the **Email** column is covered in [Email
notifications](https://docs.openlayer.com/notifications/email.md).

## Project subscriptions

Under **Project subscriptions**, choose which projects you follow. Search with
**Search projects…**, or use **Toggle all** to subscribe or unsubscribe in one
step. Project-level **App** events apply only to the projects you subscribe to.
