# Notifications

Source: https://modulify.ai/docs/reference/notifications

The bell that collects news from the Modulify team and alerts about your sites, and how read and unread work.

The notifications bell keeps news from the Modulify team and alerts about your own sites in one place. On the web it sits at the top of the sidebar, next to the Modulify logo, and on a narrow screen at the top of the page, next to the menu button. In the Modulify app for iPhone and Android it is at the top right of the **Create** tab.

A red badge on the bell counts the notifications you have not read, up to `9+`. Choose the bell to open the list, newest first.

## What shows there

| Notification | When it shows | Choosing it |
| --- | --- | --- |
| News from the team | While the team has it published, for the people it is meant for, between its start and end dates | Opens the page it links to, when it has one |
| Publish a site to keep it live | When a site on the Free plan, in a workspace you own, is about to be paused, see [Keeping a free site live](https://modulify.ai/docs/plans/plans#keeping-a-free-site-live) | **Open site** opens the site |
| A site was paused | After a site in a workspace you own was paused | **Upgrade plan** opens the plans of its workspace while it is on Free, and **Open site** once it is on a paid plan |

A notification only shows while it is still true. A warning about a site disappears once the site is published or its workspace moves to a paid plan, and a paused notice disappears once the site is published again. News disappears when its end date passes.

## Read and unread

An unread notification has a bold title and a dot. Choosing one marks it as read and opens what it points to. **Mark all as read** at the top of the list clears the badge at once. Read and unread follow your account, so a notification you read on the web is read in the mobile app too.

The bell checks for new notifications every 60 seconds while Modulify is open, and again when you come back to the tab or the app.

Notifications are separate from the emails and push notifications you choose on your account, see [Your account](https://modulify.ai/docs/reference/your-account). The alerts about your sites are also sent by email.
