Notification Preferences

Notifications keep you informed about activity on your pages, comments from collaborators, and important updates to shared content. But too many notifications can be overwhelming, and too few can cause you to miss important events. Quixli lets you fine-tune exactly what notifications you receive, how you receive them, and when.

This guide explains every notification type, the available delivery channels, and how to configure preferences that keep you informed without the noise.

Notification Types

Quixli sends notifications for six categories of activity. You can enable or disable each category independently:

Shares

Triggered when someone shares a page or collection with you. This includes direct user shares, email shares (when you're the recipient), and team shares for workspaces you belong to. You'll see the sharer's name, the page title, and your access level.

Comments

Triggered when someone comments on a page you own or are collaborating on. Includes new comments, replies to your comments, and resolved comments on threads you participated in. Comment notifications include a preview of the comment text and a link to the exact location in the document.

Mentions

Triggered when someone tags you with @mention in a comment or page. Mentions are high-priority notifications because they indicate someone specifically needs your attention. Even if you disable general comment notifications, mention notifications should usually stay enabled.

Content Updates

Triggered when someone edits a page that has been shared with you. This is useful for staying aware of changes to documentation you rely on. To avoid notification overload during active collaboration sessions, Quixli batches update notifications and sends a summary rather than notifying on every keystroke.

Reminders

Triggered by scheduled reminders you've set on pages. You can set a reminder to revisit a page at a specific date and time — for example, "Remind me to review this quarterly report on April 1st." Reminders are configured per-page from the page menu.

Product Updates

Announcements about new Quixli features, improvements, and important platform updates. These are sent infrequently (typically monthly) and help you stay current with new capabilities that might improve your workflow.

Notification Channels

For each notification type, you can choose how you want to be notified. Quixli supports four delivery channels:

• In-App: Notifications appear in the bell icon in the top-right corner of Quixli. A badge shows the count of unread notifications. In-app notifications are always available regardless of your other channel preferences

• Email: Notifications are sent to your account email address. Email notifications include rich formatting with links to jump directly to the relevant page or comment

• Push Notifications: Browser push notifications (desktop) or mobile push notifications (if using the Quixli mobile app). These appear even when you're not actively using Quixli

• Digest: Instead of real-time notifications, receive a consolidated summary of activity. Choose between daily digests (sent each morning) or weekly digests (sent on Monday mornings). Digests group notifications by page and type for easy scanning

Configuring Your Preferences

To set up your notification preferences:

1. Go to Settings > Notifications

2. Review the notification matrix: You'll see a grid with notification types as rows and channels as columns

3. Toggle each combination on or off. For example, you might enable email notifications for Mentions but disable them for Content Updates

4. Set your digest schedule if you've enabled the Digest channel for any notification type

5. Click "Save Preferences" to apply your changes

Recommended Configurations

Here are some starting configurations based on common usage patterns:

For Active Collaborators

If you work on shared documents daily and need to stay responsive:

• Enable In-App and Push for Mentions and Comments

• Enable Email for Shares (to be notified of new shared documents)

• Use Daily Digest for Content Updates (to avoid notification overload)

• Disable Product Updates email (read them in-app when convenient)

For Managers / Reviewers

If you primarily review content rather than authoring it:

• Enable Email for Shares and Mentions (don't miss review requests)

• Enable Weekly Digest for Comments and Updates (stay informed without real-time interruptions)

• Enable Reminders to follow up on review deadlines

For Minimal Interruptions

If you prefer to check Quixli on your own schedule:

• Enable In-App only for all notification types

• Disable Email, Push, and Digest

• Check the notification bell when you open Quixli

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I mute notifications for a specific page?

Yes. Open the page, click the three-dot menu, and select "Mute Notifications." You'll stop receiving notifications for that specific page while keeping all other notification preferences intact. You can unmute anytime from the same menu.

Why am I still getting emails after disabling email notifications?

Check that you've disabled email for all notification types, not just one. The notification matrix has separate toggles for each type-channel combination. Also, transactional emails (password resets, account verification) are not affected by notification preferences — they're always sent.

Can I schedule a "Do Not Disturb" window for notifications?

Yes. Go to Settings > Notifications > Quiet Hours. You can set a daily window (e.g., 10 PM to 8 AM) during which push and in-app notifications are suppressed. Notifications are still collected and appear when quiet hours end. Email delivery follows your digest schedule regardless of quiet hours.

Do notification preferences sync across devices?

Yes. Notification settings are tied to your account, not your device. Changes made on desktop apply to mobile and vice versa. However, browser-level push notification permissions are per-device — you'll need to enable push notifications separately in each browser you use.

How do I catch up on missed notifications?

Click the bell icon in the top navigation to open the notification center. Unread notifications are marked with a blue dot. Use the "Mark All as Read" button to clear them, or click individual notifications to navigate directly to the relevant page, comment, or share. The notification center keeps the last 90 days of history.
