# Notifications

Whenever you are assigned an [action](https://docs.ludi.co/boards/actions) or [mentioned](https://docs.ludi.co/boards/mentions) in a board a red dot indicator will appear on the notification (bell) icon.

Opening this view will show you who sent the notification, what type of notification it is and give you a preview of what was said.
