Mute or Unmute Project Notifications

In a project, select the Notification (“   ”) icon located to the right of the project name to mute or unmute certain types of notifications from the project.

When the Notification (“   ”) icon has a slash through it, the project is muted and you will not receive post, task, new issue, timesheet, expense report, and project update notifications for this project in any channel. You will still receive other notifications such as invoice and resource request notifications.

When the Notification (“   ”) icon doesn't have a slash through it, the project is not muted and you will receive post, task, new issue, timesheet, expense report, and project update notifications from the project according to your preferences in Notification Settings.

   NOTE

   These options only affect email notification settings for the project. In-app notifications are not affected. If the project is muted, you will not receive any email notifications from the project regardless of the settings you select here.
