  10. Notification Bell 🛎️

    New Feature
    Notification Bell

    At the bottom of your nav bar, you'll see a new icon, the notification bell 🛎️. When you click this, it will expand a sidebar which will contain notifications of what's been happening inside your Atarim Dashboard (by being assigned to a website, you'll receive notifications from it!)

     

    This makes it super easy to stay on top of all of the tasks that are coming in, and not only that, when you click on a notification, you're taken to it inside your inbox. We keep the notification sidebar on screen too, so you can quickly flick through all of them, and get to your work even quicker!
