# Notifications

> In-app alerts for the issues you care about

Notifications tell you when something relevant to you happens in Orbit. They're purely in-app — Orbit doesn't send email or push notifications today.

## What triggers a notification

| Event                                                                | Who gets notified                                       |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| You're assigned an issue                                             | The new assignee                                        |
| An issue you're assigned to is reassigned                            | The previous assignee and the new assignee              |
| An assigned issue you're on is updated (status, priority, and so on) | The current assignee                                    |
| Someone comments on an issue you're assigned to                      | The assignee (unless they wrote the comment themselves) |

Notifications are per-user — nobody sees anyone else's notifications, and there's no team-wide or broadcast notification.

## Managing notifications

Every notification has a type (success, info, warning, or error), a title, a message, and optionally a link to the page it relates to. From the notification list you can:

* Open a notification's linked page
* Mark all notifications as read at once
* Delete a notification you no longer need

<Note>
  Notifications are loaded automatically and kept available across the app, so the notification bell reflects unread notifications without a manual refresh.
