# Notifications

The notification bell in the top-right corner keeps you informed when documents need your attention.

## How Notifications Work

A bell icon appears in the dashboard header. When you have unread notifications, a badge shows the count (up to 9+).

Click the bell to open the notification panel. Each notification shows:
- A title and short description
- When it happened (e.g., "5m ago", "2h ago")
- Unread items are highlighted with a colored dot

## Document Ready Notifications

When a document finishes processing and is ready for review, everyone with the **Approve** permission in your workspace gets a notification:

> "[filename] has been processed and needs approval"

Click the notification to go directly to that document in the Knowledge Base, with the viewer already open.

## Managing Notifications

**Mark one as read:** Click any notification to mark it as read and navigate to the related page.

**Mark all read:** Click the checkmark button in the panel header to clear all unread notifications at once.

Notifications refresh automatically every 60 seconds, so new ones appear without reloading the page.

## Who Gets Notifications

Currently, document-ready notifications go to workspace members who have the **Approve** permission. If you don't have this permission, you won't see document-ready alerts.
