Many applications on Mac computers use notifications to keep you informed about schedules, updates, or changes. The notification will briefly appear in the upper right corner of the screen or remain in the upper right corner until you close it.
View notifications
On a Mac, move the pointer over the notification, and then do any of the following:
Expand or collapse the notification stack: If the app's notifications are grouped, multiple notifications will be stacked. To expand the stack to view all notifications, tap anywhere in the top notification. To collapse the stack, click "Fold."
Perform an action: Tap the action. For example, tap "Remind Later" in the "Calendar" app notification, or tap "Reply" in the "Mail" app notification.
If there is an arrow next to the action, tap it to see more options. For example, to reply to a call using the "Messages" app, click the arrow next to "Reject" and choose "Respond with Message."
View more detailed information: Tap the notification to open the item in the app. If there is an arrow to the right of the app name, tap the arrow to view the details in the notification.
Change the notification settings of the app: If there is an arrow on the right side of the app name, click the arrow, click the "More" button, and then choose an option:
Implicit push: When a notification is received, the notification will not be displayed on the upper right of the screen Corners or on the lock screen (they are displayed in the "Notification Center"), no sound will be played.
Explicit push: When a notification is received, the notification will be displayed in the upper right corner of the screen and on the lock screen (and in the "Notification Center"), and a sound will also be played.
Off: No notification will be received. To turn on the app’s notifications again, choose Apple menu> “System Preferences”, click “Notifications”, select the app on the left, and then click “Allow Notifications” on the right (blue means notifications are turned on). Notification preferences: Display the notification settings of the App in the "Notifications" preferences.
Clear a single notification or all notifications in the stack: Click the "Clear" or "Clear All" button.
Snooze notifications
On your Mac, choose Apple menu> System Preferences, then click Notifications.
In the "Notifications" preferences, select "Do Not Disturb Mode" on the left, and then set the options. When "Do Not Disturb Mode" is turned on, the notification center icon in the menu bar will be dimmed. You won’t see or hear the notifications you’ve received; they will appear in the Notification Center for you to review later.
You can also turn on "Do Not Disturb Mode" by holding down the Option key and clicking the "Notification Center" icon in the menu bar. Or, tap the icon to open "Notification Center," swipe down, and then open "Do Not Disturb Mode." It will remain open until midnight, the next scheduled closing time (this depends on the settings in the Notification preferences), or you close it.
Stop notifications
On your Mac, choose Apple menu> System Preferences, then click Notifications.
In the "Notifications" preferences, select the app on the left, and then deselect the "Allow notifications" option for the app.
All other notification options of the app will be dimmed. You will not receive any notifications from the App until the option is set to allow notifications.
