The Notification Center in Velveteen

Updated June 13, 2026

The short answer

The notification bell in the top bar shows recent notifications and an unread count. The Notifications page shows the full list, with All and Unread filters and a Mark all read action. Opening or marking a notification clears it from the unread count.
