The Alerts page lists every alert the app has found. An alert is a problem the app spotted in your data. You never write one yourself. The app makes them by reading your orders, your lots at Amazon, and your Vault. So an alert goes away when the data behind it is fixed. Open the page from the Alerts pill on the command deck. The pill shows how many alerts are open.
The Alerts page with alerts grouped under Purchases, Recovery, and Vault, and the Sound picker on the right

The Alerts page. Groups on the left, sound and hide rules on the right. Demo data.

At the top right, a count like “10 ALERTS · DISMISSALS HIDE, NEVER DELETE” states the rule of this page. Hiding an alert never deletes it.

​
Groups by source

Alerts are grouped by the desk they come from, in this order: Each group header has an icon, the group name, and a count like ”· 4”. Click the group name to open that page. A group with no alerts says “Nothing on this desk.” Inside a group, the most costly kinds of alert come first. The SCOUT group shows only when it has an alert. Scout does not make alerts yet, so you will not see this group today.
The Purchases alert group with its channel toggles and four alert rows

The Purchases group.

​
An alert row

Each row has a colored dot, a title, and a detail line. The color tells you the kind of problem. Click the title to go to the page where you fix it. On the right of each row are two buttons: a clock and a ×. To learn what each alert means and how to clear it, see the Alerts reference.

​
Hide an alert

Click × to hide the alert for 7 days. Hover it to see “Hide for 7 days”. After 7 days, the app checks again. If the problem is still there, the alert comes back. Click the clock to pick a different window. A window is how long the alert stays hidden.
The Hide this alert for menu with 1 hour, Until tomorrow, 7 days, 30 days, and Custom options

The clock menu. 7 days is the default.

The menu is titled “HIDE THIS ALERT FOR”. It offers:
1

Click the clock, then Custom...

A date box appears. It starts on today’s date.
2

Pick a date

You cannot pick a day in the past. If you do, it says “That window has already ended.” A bad date says “Pick a real date.”
3

Click Hide until this date

The alert stays hidden through the end of that day.

​
Undo a hide

Right after you hide an alert, a small toast appears at the bottom right. A toast is a short pop-up message. It says “Hidden for 7 days” (or “1 hour”, “tomorrow”, “30 days”, or “a custom window”) and the alert title. Click Undo to bring the alert back right away. The toast goes away after 8 seconds. You can also close it with its ×.
Hides are saved in this browser only. If you sign out, or open the app on another computer, hidden alerts show again.

​
Toast, email, and sound for each group

Each group header has three small buttons on the right. These are channels. A channel is a way the app tells you about a new alert in that group. A copper button is on. A grey button is off. Click to switch. Hover a button to read what it does, like “Turn on toast for purchases” or “Mute sound for recovery”. While you use the app, it keeps checking your data. Nothing pops up or plays when a page first loads. Undo does not pop up or play either. The starting settings are: Your choices are saved in this browser. Signing out puts them back to the starting settings.

​
Pick a sound

The SOUND box on the right says “PICK ONE”. It lists four tones:
The Sound picker with Dock bell, Sonar ping, Ledger tick, and Ship's whistle

The Sound picker. Click the play button to hear a tone.

Click the round play button to hear a tone. Click the tone’s name to pick it. The note under the list says: “Plays with a toast, only where Sound is on.”
Browsers block sound until you click something on the page. If you hear nothing, click anywhere first and try again.

​
How dismiss works

The right side of the page repeats the hide rule in the app’s own words: “The × hides an alert for 7 days. The clock picks a different window: 1 hour to 30 days, or a custom date. Nothing is ever deleted; an alert that is still true comes back when its window ends.”

What else the page can say

If your paid plan is paused, the list is replaced by a paused notice. Choose a plan to turn it back on.
