Your Inbox your-inbox
You can receive notifications from various areas of AEM such as notification about work items or tasks that represent actions that you must perform on page content.
You receive these notifications in two inboxes, which are separated by the type of notifications:
- An inbox where you can see the notifications that you receive as a result of subscriptions is described in the following section.
- A specialized inbox for workflow items is described in the Participating in Workflows document.
