# How to Get Notified...
# How do Notifications Work?
The notification symbol is the Bell button next to your name, top right of
the screen. Its color is grey when you don't have
any notification, and orange
when you have a new
one.
When you click on the bell button, it opens the notifications page.
There, you can see all the changes made to the tasks you are following or assigned to you.
Notifications include the following information:
If it's a notification
or a tag
the name of the author
the related entity
the related task
the new status
the attached file
and the comment.
When you click on the notification page, the comments panel on the right is displayed. You can answer directly from this page to any element.
Each part is a link you can use it to jump on the information you need. If you click on the status, you jump to the status page of the entity. So you can react quickly to this new change.
For example, let's give Ann a retake.
Ann receives notification immediately, the bell button changes color
, and she can read the
new comment.
All the notifications and comments appear in real-time. No need to refresh to stay up to date.
# How to Get Notified?
As an artist, you receive a notification

the status of one of your tasks, post a comment or tag you on a comment.
You can also choose to follow specific tasks. Go into the task page you want
to follow: on the assets or shots pages click onto the status icon,
