Notifications generated on Elium are designed to keep you informed about a wide range of events:

Comments, likes, and updates on articles you have added.
Comments on articles you follow.
Mentions of your name in a comment or an article.
Mentions of a space name or team of which you are a member, in a comment or an article (by a coordinator or administrator of the space).
Affiliation to a space.
New articles in a space where space notifications are activated (by an administrator).

Each user can define how they want to receive each notification. To manage your notifications, go to your settings.

Under the first section called "My account" on the left, click on "Notifications". You will be able to manage the different notifications separately and choose how you wish to receive them:

Via email.
Via mobile app push notifications.
In-app: via the notification center (see further explanations below).

The Notification Center

The notification center corresponds to the 🔔 icon located next to your profile picture, as shown in the image below. The number displayed indicates the count of new unread notifications. Click on the 🔔 icon to access the notification center.

A pop-up window will appear displaying your notifications, allowing you to access your list of notifications from anywhere on the platform without having to switch pages. These notifications are categorized into three segments: unread, pinned, and all.

The unread notifications, as the name suggests, are all the notifications you haven't clicked on. Once you click on them, they will be marked as read and will no longer appear in the 'unread' category.
The pinned notifications are those you have manually selected and pinned from the list. This can be useful if you need to track or maintain a sort of 'to-do list' of articles that require follow-up actions (read, comment, edit...). Pinned notifications remain pinned whether the article has been read or not. To remove pinned notifications, you must do so manually.
Lastly, the 'all' category lists all your notifications in anti-chronological order.

(De)activating Desktop Notifications

When you receive your first notification, Elium prompts you to authorize the activation of desktop notifications. This service depends on your browser and allows you to receive notifications on your computer screen even when you are not actively using the platform.

If Elium has not prompted you yet, you can activate this feature from your settings.

If you blocked this function when the system suggested it, you will need to go through your browser preferences to unblock it and authorize Elium to generate these notifications. The same process applies if you want to deactivate these notifications.

In Chrome, visit the page chrome://settings/content/notifications to add or remove the Elium URL.
In Internet Explorer Edge, click on Settings > Display advanced settings > Manage notifications.
In Firefox, visit your preferences > 'Content' section > Notifications: about:preferences#content.

💡 Notes

You can also manage the push notifications you receive from the Elium Mobile App. This affects personal mentions, space mentions, and reading list notifications. Please ensure that the Mobile App is connected to your platform and that notifications are enabled in your smartphone settings.
