The notifications tray gives you access to recent notifications without leaving your current page in Agent Platform. Use it to check on agent executions, review notifications, and take action, without opening the full [Notification Center](docId\:Hsq4ZEuO6Oax0Xazb0il6).

## Access the notifications tray

The notifications tray is available from any page in Mark. **Notifications** displays a red badge with the unread count. The count updates as notifications arrive.

Click **Notifications** in the global header to open the tray. Click **Notifications** again to close the tray.

## Notification details

Each notification in the notification tray includes the following details.

The following descriptions correspond to the numbered callouts in the previous image:

1. **Icon** – A category-specific icon indicating the notification type.
2. **Title** – A summary of the event. Unread notification titles display in bold.
3. **Message** – Additional detail about the event.
4. **Timestamp** – The time Mark created the notification.
5. **Unread indicator** – A small dot on unread notifications.

## Filter notifications in the tray

The tray includes the following two tabs:

- **All** – Displays all notifications, both read and unread.
- **Unread** – Displays only unread notifications. The tab label includes the unread count (for example, **Unread (12)**).

## Take action on notifications

The notifications tray supports the following actions.

### Open a notification

Click any notification to go to the related content. Mark marks the notification as read. Depending on the notification type, Mark takes you to one of the following locations:

- **Chat execution notifications** – The chat thread where the execution ran.
- **Workflow execution notifications** – The workflow execution detail page.
- **Agent update notifications** – The agent details page.
- **Skill update notifications** – The organization skill detail page. Notifications for deleted skills do not link anywhere.
- **Guardrail notifications** – The flagged run on the agent's **Logs** tab.

### Dismiss a notification

Hover over a notification to reveal **Dismiss**. Click **Dismiss** to permanently remove the notification.

### Mark all as read

Click **Mark all as read** to mark all notifications as read. This applies to all notifications, not only the ones visible in the tray.

### View all notifications

Scroll to the bottom and click **View all notifications** to open the Notification Center. The Notification Center provides a full-page view with additional filtering and bulk actions. See [Notification Center](docId\:Hsq4ZEuO6Oax0Xazb0il6) for details.

## Real-time notifications

When a notification arrives, Mark displays a toast notification with the notification title. Click **View** in the toast to go to the related content. The unread count on **Notifications** updates immediately.

Mark suppresses toast notifications when you are already viewing the related chat or execution.
