# Notification Center

> Use the BeatPass bell menu and notifications page to review recent alerts.

BeatPass exposes notifications in two in-app places:

* the **bell icon** for a recent-notifications popover
* the full **`/notifications`** page for a longer list view

***

## Bell Menu

The bell menu shows:

* your unread badge count
* recent notifications
* a **Mark all** action when unread items exist
* a shortcut to **Notification Preferences**

Clicking a notification marks it as read and opens the related destination when one is available.

***

## Notifications Page

The full page at `/notifications` provides:

* a larger notification list
* a **Mark all as read** button when unread items are currently loaded
* a settings shortcut when there are no unread items in view

<Note>
  In the current UI, the bell menu's **Mark all** action marks all unread notifications as read. The full page button marks the notifications currently loaded on that page.
</Note>

***

## Notification Item Behavior

Depending on the notification type, an item can:

* open a track, album, playlist, profile, or other internal destination
* open a linked action page
* show inline action buttons, such as **Accept** and **Decline** for playlist invites

Unread notifications are visually highlighted until they are marked as read.

***

## Empty State

If you do not have any notifications yet, BeatPass shows the **Hang tight!** empty state and a shortcut to notification settings.
