In the Persona Dashboard, a red badge appears on the **Notifications** menu item in the dashboard side navigation. The number displayed on the red badge indicates the number of unread notifications.

Clicking on the Notifications menu item allows you to:

1.  Select a view, which includes:
    1.  The **Inbox** tab to view all new notifications.
    2.  The **Unread** tab to view all unread notifications.
    3.  The **Archived** tab to view all archived notifications.
2.  Filter views by notification severity levels
3.  Sort views by:
    1.  Default (unread critical and urgent notifications are pushed to the top)
    2.  Newest to oldest
    3.  Oldest to newest
4.  Tag certain notifications as `archived` / `unarchived` or `read` / `unread` by clicking the icons that appear when hovering over a notification.
5.  Click **Archive all** to move all notifications in your Inbox or Unread view to Archived status.
6.  Click **Mark all as read** to mark all notifications as read, removing the blue badge.

## Email notifications

Notifications can also be sent directly to your inbox.
