SimplyDo lets you know when something happens that concerns you: someone comments on or likes your idea, adds you to a team, invites you to a group, replies to you in a discussion or mentions you. You also hear when a challenge you follow is about to close, when you unlock an achievement and when your organisation sends an announcement. All of these collect under the bell at the top of every page.

Opening a page also marks the notifications about it as read, for example when you open your idea or a group yourself.

The Downloads tab next to Notifications lists the reports and exports you’ve asked for, and lets you download them once they’re ready. The tray shows 30 notifications at a time; use the page numbers at the bottom to see older ones. On a phone, the bell opens your notifications as a page of their own.

You get many of these notifications by email too, unless you turn the emails off in your notification settings.
