A sidebar will expand with the most recent notifications displayed. Most notifications include a button that will redirect you to the relevant dashboard area if action should be taken.
Notification Categories
Notifications are organized into three categories and can be toggled on and off via the Notification Settings tab.
? Support ticket alerts
Receive notifications when your support ticket receives a response.
? Billing alerts
Receive notifications when your payment is processed, your invoice is past due, your credit card is about to expire, and more.
? Site activity alerts
Receive a notification when your SSL is about to expire, Development Mode is enabled for more than 24 hours, your Staging site is ready, and more.
Notification Settings
Clicking the gear icon in the Notifications pane will take you to the Notification Settings page where you can customize your communication preferences.
Check or uncheck a box to toggle that notification type on or off. Then click Save Preferences to apply.
