# Notifications

> Two surfaces: the switches that decide what Squad tells you, and the sidebar inbox where it lands.

Notifications have two separate surfaces, and they are easy to confuse.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="The switches" icon="toggle-right" href="/workspace-settings">
    What Squad tells you about. They live on the **Notifications** tab of Settings.
  </Card>

  <Card title="The inbox" icon="inbox">
    Where those notifications land. A popover on the sidebar, opened from **Inbox** under the bell icon.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Warning>
  The inbox is a popover, not a page. It has no route of its own, so there is no URL you can bookmark or share for it.
</Warning>

## Choosing what you hear about

Open **Settings** in the sidebar and pick the **Notifications** tab. Three switches:

* **New insights.** *Notify me when a new insight is added to this workspace.*
* **New documents.** *Notify me when a new document is added to this workspace.*
* **New goals.** *Notify me when a new goal is added to this workspace.*

Toggle one and it applies immediately, with a **Notification enabled** or **Notification disabled** toast. Your settings are yours: turning off **New insights** does not affect anyone else on the team. They are also per workspace, so you can follow one workspace closely and stay quiet on another.

<Info>
  Everything is delivered in the app. There is no email or Slack option on these switches, no digest frequency, and no master mute.
</Info>

<Note>
  Insight notifications fire for genuinely new insights only. An insight that gets refined or re-scored later does not notify you again.
</Note>

Agent report delivery by email is set per agent, on the agent itself, and is unaffected by these switches. See [Agents](/agents).

## The inbox

**Inbox** sits near the top of the sidebar with a bell icon. A number appears on it when you have unread notifications, and reads `9+` past nine. Click it and the inbox opens beside the sidebar.

The list is flat, newest first. Unread rows are tinted, bold, and carry a small dot on the right. Ten load at a time, with **Load more** at the bottom when there are more. **Mark all read** appears in the header while anything is unread, and clears the notifications currently loaded in the list.

Clicking a notification marks it read and takes you to what it is about. A new document opens that document. A new goal opens that goal. A new insight opens the [Insights](/insights) list rather than the individual insight.

**All activity** at the bottom of the popover opens the full [Activity](/activity) feed, which is the complete change log rather than the subset you subscribed to.

With nothing waiting, the inbox shows **No notifications yet**.

New notifications also appear as a toast in the corner while you have Squad open. Clicking the toast does the same thing as clicking the row.

## Notifications you get regardless

Two kinds arrive whatever your switches say.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="The daily digest" icon="sun">
    Once a day at 09:00 UTC, workspaces past onboarding get a summary counting the new insights and signals from the day. Days with nothing new are skipped rather than sent empty.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Cookbook

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Quieten a busy workspace" icon="volume-x">
    Open **Settings**, go to **Notifications**, and turn off **New insights**. High-volume feedback sources can generate a lot of them. Leave **New goals** on so you still hear about strategy changes, and check [Insights](/insights) on your own schedule.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Catch up after time off" icon="inbox">
    Open the **Inbox**, work down the list clicking through the ones that matter, then hit **Mark all read**. For the fuller picture of what changed while you were out, including everything you never subscribed to, click **All activity**.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Follow one workspace, not the other" icon="toggle-right">
    The switches are per workspace. Switch workspace, open **Settings**, and set the three toggles differently there.
  </Accordion>
