đ Take Control of Notifications
If youâve ever logged into the AIE and been greeted by a notification bell with a triple-digit numberâdon’t worry, youâre not alone.

Itâs totally normal to have a backlog, especially when AIE members are constantly sharing resources, accepting connection requests, and commenting in groups. But just because that little blue number creeps up doesnât mean it needs to stay there.
In fact, itâs easy to get things under control and reclaim your peace of mind.
Start at the Bell đ

Click the notification bell icon at the top right of your screen. This will open a preview of your most recent notifications. Look in the top-right corner of the pop-up and click âMark all as read.â This clears 25 notifications at a time, moving them from âUnreadâ to âRead.â Hit that button a few times and before you know it you’ll be at inbox zero. Doesn’t it feel good to tidy up?
Explore Your Notification Center â”
Next, click âView Notificationsâ at the bottom of the pop-up. This will bring you to the main notifications page, where youâll have more tools at your disposal.
Here, you can:
- Filter by notification type (e.g., connection requests, group mentions, etc.) using the dropdown that says âView Allâ
- Use Bulk Actions on the left to select multiple notifications and either mark them as unread or delete them permanently.

Youâve Got the Power đȘ
At the AIE, we want your notifications to be helpful, not overwhelming. We hope these tips make this reminder system simple to use.
Remember – you’re in charge of your notifications; they don’t control you! đ
