Notifications

Workover tells you when something needs you, and tries hard not to tell you anything else.

What you are notified about

• Mentions. Someone @s you in a comment.
• Replies to a thread you are in.
• Comments on your documents.
• Shares. Someone gives you access to a document.
• Invites, when you are added to a workspace or project.

Where they appear

The bell in the app header, and email for the things worth interrupting you over.

The feed is cross-workspace: if you belong to more than one, everything is in one list, each item badged with which workspace it came from. You do not have to switch workspaces to discover you were mentioned somewhere else three days ago. Filter to one workspace when you want to.

Reading and clearing

Click through to land on the thing itself — the comment thread, not just the document. Mark individually or clear all.

What is not a notification

Publishing. Workover does not notify your whole team when a post goes out; that is what your site is for.

Every edit. A document being worked on does not generate a notification per keystroke, per save, or per session. If you want to know what changed, version history answers that better than an alert would.

Monitor alerts. Those are a separate channel with their own routing — see alerts and incidents. A crawl finding is not the same kind of event as a colleague asking you a question, and mixing them makes both easier to ignore.

Turning things down

Account settings control which notifications reach you by email. The in-app feed always collects everything; email is the part worth tuning.
