Updated over a month ago

Any.do's Notifications Center keeps you informed about shared activities within your Workspace and Family boards. It ensures you stay updated on your team's progress, assignments, and mentions without missing a beat. The Notifications Center provides a dynamic and straightforward way to review task updates and respond to changes instantly. Each mention is accompanied by a board notification next to the relevant board or task, making it easy to stay connected.

All updates related to shared boards and tasks that were assigned to you (or mention you) will appear in the Notifications Center. When there's a new update, a red dot appears above the Notifications Center icon, alerting you to check it out. You can quickly access these updates by clicking the links in your Notifications Center, allowing you to stay on top of your work effortlessly. If you're mentioned or assigned to a task, you can reply directly from the Notifications Center or add the task to your My Day for focused attention. Additionally, you can filter updates by importance, helping you prioritize what's most relevant to you.
