# Notifications and Help

> The bell, the help menu, the assistant and your profile menu in the top bar.

Three buttons on the right of the top bar are on every page: the bell, the help button and your profile.

## Notifications

Click the bell in the top bar. A red dot on the bell means there is something you have not read.

![Notifications](https://mintcdn.com/mile-app/PeReiScL9I1UXMJO/images/v4/getting-started/notifications.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=PeReiScL9I1UXMJO\&q=85\&s=92e7ae0580f1e6a5df6e8fe58a8054d9)

1. **Notifications**: alerts and messages meant for you, such as an emergency alert (SOS) sent by a field user.
   * **All** and **Unread** switch between every notification and only the ones you have not read.
   * Notifications are grouped under **Today** and **Earlier**. Click **Load more** at the bottom to see older ones.
   * Click a notification to mark it as read. A notification about a field user opens **Monitoring › Tracking** on that user and that day. If the alert belongs to another hub that you can open, the top bar switches to that hub. If you cannot open that hub, the top bar stays as it is and the alert may not be listed.
   * **Mark all as read** clears the red dot.
2. **What's New**: the release notes of the app, newest first. Each release lists its changes; click **More details** to read the full note. A red dot on the tab means there is a release you have not seen.

The bell updates by itself when a new notification arrives, so you don't need to reload the page.

> [!TIP]
>
> Emergency alerts also open a pop-up on screen when they arrive. See [Emergency Alerts](https://docsy3.mile.app/pages/monitoring/tracking/emergency-alerts.md).

1. **New Chat**: start a new conversation. Your earlier conversations are listed under it, newest first. Click one to read it again, or delete it.
2. **Try asking**: sample questions such as *How do I create a new task?* Click one to ask it.
3. **Type your question**: write your own question, up to 500 characters, and press **Enter** or click **Send**.

How a conversation works:

* The assistant replies in a few seconds. While it works you see *Analyzing your request...*, then *Generating results*.
* If the assistant can't help, the support team can take over the same conversation. Their replies are marked **Support team**; the assistant's are marked with the assistant's name.
* Rate each conversation as **Helpful** or **Not helpful** to help improve the answers.
* A conversation closes automatically after **30 minutes** without activity, or when the support team marks it **Resolved**. Click **New Chat** to ask something else.

If the assistant can't be reached or takes too long, try again shortly or message the support team on WhatsApp from **Help Center & Support**.
