Notifications and searchBeta

#Notifications

Select Notifications in the sidebar (on smaller screens, the bell at the top) to see your five most recent updates and how many are new. On phones the list slides up from the bottom of the screen.

• Select an update to open it. It is marked as read.
• Mark all read clears the new count.
• See all opens the full list.

#The full notifications page

Filter by All updates or Unread, mark single items as read or unread, or use Clear all. Clearing can be undone straight away, and it only clears the notification: the pod, post or message it pointed to is not deleted.

#Choosing what you hear about

In Settings → Preferences you can turn email updates, session reminders and pod updates on or off, and choose whether message excerpts are shown. Each pod also has its own Pod updates setting. Exactly which notifications reach you outside Hatch, such as by email, is still being finalised for the beta. Hatch never asks for browser notification permission when a page first loads.

#Searching Hatch

1. Press / anywhere outside a text box, or select Search all Hatch.
2. Start typing. Results appear as you type.
3. Narrow results with All, Pods, People, Sessions or Conversations.
4. Use ↑ and ↓ to move, Enter to open and Esc to close.

Need more room? Open full search gives you a full page of results. Search only shows things you are allowed to see. Private pods and conversations stay private.
