Notifications & Mentions

EpicDraft keeps an inbox of things that need your attention across your shared scripts. Notifications need a signed-in account.

The inbox

Open the inbox from the bell icon in the sidebar on desktop, or the Notifications screen on mobile. A badge shows how many are unread. Clicking a notification takes you straight to the relevant place — the file's chat, the script itself, or the read view for an approved request. You can mark all read or delete items you're done with.

You'll be notified when:

  • Someone @mentions you, or sends an @all message, in a script's chat.
  • A reader submits coverage on one of your scripts.
  • Someone starts or finishes reading one of your scripts.
  • Someone requests read access to your script — or your own request is approved.
  • You have a pending collaboration invite.
  • Support replies to a message you sent.

Read-access requests

When someone opens a read link they don't have access to, they can tap Request read access and add a short note. As the owner, the request lands in your inbox with Approve and Deny buttons:

  • Approve grants them the Reader role and notifies them; the read view then loads for them automatically.
  • Deny dismisses the request.

The requester sees the status of their request as Pending, Approved, or Denied.

Choosing what you're notified about

Open Settings → User → Notifications for your preferences, synced across your devices — every event above has its own toggle, so you can keep mentions and drop the rest, or vice versa.

Email notifications

The same page can mirror notifications to email:

  1. Add a notification email address.
  2. Verify it with the link EpicDraft sends.
  3. Turn on Email me too — email follows the same per-event choices as your in-app toggles.

Device settings

Settings → Application → Notifications covers this device only: system notifications (show operating-system notifications even when the app is in the background) and a notification sound.

The "Changes aren't saving to the cloud" warning is separate from this inbox — it's a persistent in-app notice about syncing. See Using File Sync.
