Open and clear notifications
See what needs you from the bell, jump straight to the item, and mark everything as read.
The bell in the top bar collects everything addressed to you in the studio you are working in. New notifications arrive while you work, without reloading.

- Click Mark all read. It only shows when something is unread, and it can't be undone.
