Alerts are the messages LotJitsu leaves for you under the bell. Notifications are your choices about how LotJitsu reaches you, set on the Settings page.
Using the phone app? See Alerts and notifications in the app.
Read your alerts
- Click the bell at the top right of the header. A red number shows how many alerts are unread.
- Your newest alerts drop down beneath it. Click View All Alerts to open the full Alerts page.

On the Alerts page:
- Click an alert to mark it read.
- Click the ✕ on an alert to dismiss it.
- Click Clear All Alerts at the bottom to delete every alert.
An invitation to a folder or catalog arrives as an alert with its own Accept and Decline buttons. See Accept or decline an invitation on your computer.
Alerts you may see
- Welcome to LotJitsu, when you verify your email address.
- Password Changed, when your password changes.
- Password Reset Requested, when someone asks for a reset link for your address.
- Email Change Requested, when someone asks to move your account to a new address.
- An invitation to a folder or catalog.
- Usage alerts when you get close to, or reach, your monthly export limit.
Choose how LotJitsu reaches you
- Click your photo or initial, then Settings.
- Turn each switch on or off:
- Email Notifications: "Receive important updates via email."
- In-App Notifications: "Receive notifications within the application."
Each switch saves as soon as you change it. If it can't be saved, it springs back with "Failed to update preference".
Good to know
- Account security emails are always sent, whatever these switches say. These include email verification, password reset, password changed and email change notices.
- LotJitsu on your computer doesn't send browser push notifications. Push notifications are in the phone app.
- Turning In-App Notifications off doesn't hide your alerts. They still appear under the bell and on the Alerts page.
