The bell icon in the top-right of every page opens the in-app notifications panel — your single feed for app events (payments, sync runs, exports, errors) and CedCommerce announcements.

| Tab | What it shows |
|---|---|
| General | All in-app event notifications — payment processing, Amazon Sync Status runs, exports, errors, and other operational updates. Each row carries a status icon, message, and timestamp. |
| Announcements | Product updates and announcements from the CedCommerce team. |
The bell badge resets to 0 once you mark all alerts as read. New unread Critical alerts will increment the badge again as they arrive.
