The bell, and the reminder email

Updated Nov 11, 2026

The bell at the top of your dashboard lists what is waiting for you: posts people sent you, replies, mentions and follow requests. A red number shows how many are new. Pick one to open that post in your feed. See all in Feed opens the full list.

In the extension the same list is under Notifications, on the rail and in the Annotate icon's popup.

If something has waited 30 minutes and you have not seen it, Annotate sends you one email that covers everything waiting. The email says who it is from and which page. It never contains the text of a note, a post or a reply. Each thing is emailed once at most. Turn these emails off under Settings, Email me about what is waiting, or with the link at the bottom of the email.
