Notifications

Notifications tell you when something you care about happens — a task assigned to you, a proposal approved, an @mention. This guide covers how you use the notification surface: the bell and its popup, and the preferences that decide which events reach you. For what each notification means and which action produces it, see the collaboration reference, which holds the full category table — this page does not repeat it.

The notification bell

The notification bell sits at the top of the sidebar (in the header on mobile) and shows a badge with your unread count. Selecting it opens the notification popup, where you can:

• Mark all as read to clear every unread notification at once.
• Switch between the Unread and All tabs.
• Scan the list — each row names the project, the entity, who acted, and when.

Selecting a row marks it read and opens the related idea, proposal, task, or document, so you land directly on the work that needs you. The Notification Preferences link takes you to Settings to tune what you receive.

What the agent does

Many notifications come from agent activity — an agent claiming an idea, submitting a task for verification, or posting an elaboration round. Opening the related entity from a notification is often how you pick up the thread and respond. For which actions wake an agent versus simply notify you, see the collaboration reference and the agent platforms reference.

Notification preferences

You control which events notify you from the Notification Preferences card on the Settings page. Toggles are grouped by event type — Task, Proposal, Idea, Elaboration, Comment, and Mention — so you can silence a whole category or a single event within it.

Notification preferences group the toggles by event type; every category is on by default and changes save automatically.

Everything is on by default, and changes save automatically. Turn a category off and Chorus stops notifying you about it — the activity still happens, you just are not told. You only ever see notifications from your own workspace.
