What does the "dot" notification on a board mean when I open the app?

When I open up the app and see my list of boards, sometimes a "dot" shows up on some of the boards. This looks like a notification but I cannot determine its meaning. What does this dot indicate?

Hi @Carmen Olsen , 

The "dot" on your Trello boards is the Trello's flagging recent activity on a board you're subscribed to. It pops up in the board list view to quickly highlight boards with updates :)

Note: In app settings > Notifications, tweak what triggers the dot (ex: mentions only) to reduce noise. 

Hope the below links are helpful for you:

Hopefully everything works out for you.

Best, 

Peter
