Quick answer: Review unread messages and comments from the notification bell at the bottom of the main navigation menu, your Inbox in the Home area, a project's Digest panel on its Dashboard, or the Messages and Comments subsections of the Everything area. Your profile notification settings control which activity you're notified about.

In your profile settings, you can choose to receive notifications on all activity on the projects you are part of or just the activity that relates to you.


How do I see unread notifications in Teamwork.com?

A notification bell icon displays at the bottom of Teamwork.com's main navigation menu (near your profile image), and is accessible from any area of your site.

When you have unread notifications for activity from any of your projects, a badge count of your unread notifications is displayed.

Select the bell icon to open the Notifications slide out panel. Clicking a notification relating to a comment or message redirects you to the details view for that item.
