The bell in the top bar is your in-app inbox. A number on it shows how many unread notifications you have; open the drawer to see them, newest first.
What shows up here
Section titled “What shows up here”Each notification has an icon for its type:
- Event updates — when an event you're on is rescheduled, moved to another room, or canceled. You get these when you're the event's manager, a participant, or on its team — but never for a change you made yourself. Clicking one opens that event.
- What's new — a short note when a new version of Venvy ships. Clicking it opens a summary of what changed.
Admins may also send announcements, which appear here for everyone.
How notifications clear
Section titled “How notifications clear”Notifications are marked read (and the bell's count goes down) in two ways:
- Open the drawer and leave it open for a few seconds — glancing at it and closing right away won't clear anything, so you won't lose track of something you meant to come back to.
- Click an individual notification — that one is marked read as it takes you where it points.
Read notifications stay in the drawer for a while as history; only unread ones count toward the bell. This is separate from the emails Venvy sends — the drawer is in-app only.
