How to Mark Notifications as Read

Introduction

This guide shows you how to clear the unread count on the bell by marking one notification, or all of them, as read.

The numbers in brackets, like (1), match the numbered markers in the screenshots.

Step 1: Open Notifications

Click the bell (1) at the top right to open Notifications (2).

Step 2: Mark One Notification as Read

Point to the notification and click the ✓ at its right (1). Its label is Mark as read.

Step 3: Check the Result

The notification loses its blue dot and moves below the unread ones (1). The number on the bell (2) and the new count (3) each drop by one.

The notification you marked, now without a blue dot and listed below the last unread notification, marked 1, the bell showing 5, marked 2, and 5 new, marked 3

Step 4: Mark Everything as Read

To mark all notifications as read at once, click Mark all read (1) at the top of the panel.

Step 5: Check the Result

All blue dots disappear, Mark all read is greyed out (1), and the bell shows no number (2). The new count next to Notifications is gone too.

⚠️Important: You can't mark a notification as unread again.

Tip: Opening a notification also marks it as read (see How to Check Your Notifications).
