Notifications

Channel attention, in-app notices and email or push preferences.

Notifications report events that need your attention. Channel attention and delivery preferences answer different questions.

Delivery and access

An enabled preference is not a delivery receipt. A browser can block permission, a delivery connection can be unavailable, or channel attention can exclude the event. Opening a notification still requires access to its target.

The notifications settings show delivery channels and a matrix of event types. The displayed type names identify what each row controls. A failed preference save restores the previous choice.

Message attention

Mentions and thread activity belong to their conversations. A person can read a channel without having received an email or push notice about it. A mention does not add that person to a private channel.

The signal dial is a channel preference. It does not replace email and push settings, and those delivery settings do not replace the dial.
