Time for action — open up your notifications inbox

Let's open up your notifications inbox and have a look around:

1. 1. Click on the button on the control panel menu, which is represented by a letter with a number next to it in the top right of the screen. The number in this link represents the number of unread notifications you have. At the moment Janet doesn't have any notifications and so a zero is displayed:

2. 2. Now, you will be on a page called Inbox. This is the place where you will see all of your messages, just as you would see in a normal e-mail inbox. You can mark messages as read or delete them, as well as filtering them by activity type.

What just happened?

You just found out where all your Mahara notifications can be found and had a look at your inbox for the first time. If you see that icon change from zero to one at any point, you will know you have something to read!
