# Notifications

> Stay on top of mentions and account events with the in-app Notifications panel — updated in real time, filterable, and easy to clear.

Use **Notifications** to keep up with activity that needs your attention.

You will see:

* A badge for unread notifications.
* New notifications as they arrive.
* A panel where you can review and clear items.

## Open the panel

Open **Notifications** from the top of the app. Items are split into **New** (unread) and **Earlier**, and opening the panel clears the unread badge.

Filter with the tabs:

| Tab          | Shows                                       |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------- |
| **All**      | Everything, including watched-item updates. |
| **Mentions** | Only comment @mentions.                     |
| **System**   | Storage allocation-threshold alerts.        |

## What you'll be notified about

* **Mentions** — someone @mentioned you in a [comment](/organize/notes-and-comments). The notification links straight to that comment.
* **Allocation thresholds** — one of your [storage allocations](/account/storage) has crossed a usage threshold, so you have time to act before you run out of space.
* **Watched-item updates** — an asset, collection, or project you're **watching** has changed. You'll see updates such as new or removed items, a new file version, or a metadata change. The notification links to the item.

### Watch an item

To follow an item, **star** it — click the star icon on an asset, collection, or project. From then on you're notified when it changes. Watching isn't inherited: starring a collection doesn't automatically watch the assets inside it. To stop watching, remove the star.

## Clearing notifications

Click a notification to mark it read (and to jump to whatever it points at), or use **Mark all as read** to clear them in one go. Use **Load more** to page back through older items.
