View your notifications

When you're working with components, reviews, projects, and translations, you can select options that require Inspire to perform a task and let you know the progress. Almost all notifications are internal, meaning that you see a message on an Inspire screen and in your notifications list. In some cases Inspire will also send you an email to let you know the status of a job or if there's an action you need to complete, such as a review assignment.
