Acrobat notifications are typically updates about any change in the status of the documents that you shared for viewing, reviewing, and signing. It alerts you for any action taken on a document including all the incoming and outgoing requests for documents shared by you, or with you. Both the sender and the recipient are immediately notified of a change in document status and activity on the workflow. Also, a daily digest of notifications is sent to you over email.
Notification bell icon
The bell icon is located next to the Profile menu in the upper-right corner of the Acrobat desktop app, the Acrobat Reader mobile app, and the Document Cloud web interface. If you have new notifications, the bell icon displays a red badge. You can click the icon to view all the notifications.

Creative Cloud members can also see the notifications in the Creative Cloud desktop app.
Notification panel
When you click the bell icon, your notifications are displayed in the Notification panel. The new notifications are highlighted so that you can easily find the new ones since your last visit. Each notification is displayed as a card and includes the details you need.
The notifications displayed for different workflows are listed in the tables below.
