How do I see notifications older than 30 days?

Question

I'm working on a project in which there was a long pause. It's now 30 days later and I'm back, trying to work through comments 30-50 days ago. As near as I can tell, Atlassian has made it IMPOSSIBLE to see notifications for those comments. Instead of letting users manage their own notification history, Atlassian has chosen to arbitrarily cut off notification history at 30 days.

Am I missing something? Or do I really have to now visit every single page in our project to see if there are any comments — instead of just being able to go through my team.atlassian.com/notifications page — because somebody at Atlassian decided users shouldn't have control over their own notification management?

There are literally no circumstances under which I would use Rovo. It's never been the least bit useful to me, and is constantly getting in the way. If I could turn if off completely, it would make my work life exponentially easier, but, of coruse, Atlassian has only made that possible on the admin level, so individual users that don't find it useful are forced to put up with it constantly popping up like a 21st-Century "Clippy" trying to "help."

I don't need summaries. This is a workspace where we are creating support documentation. A little more than a month ago, there was a round of feedback on those pages, and I'm trying to read and act on those comments.

I guess I'll just have to visit every single page and look for comments.

But thanks for the suggestions.

That's what I was afraid of. Typical of Atlassian. Thanks for the macro tip. I think it would be faster to just visit every page and look at the comments.

Hi @Rob Bl ,

Question - How do you usually handle notifications? Meaning, are you looking at them through email or through in-product/app options? 👀

The UI, for me, is a good way to keep things up-to-date, as I mainly check for the newest ones through the interface. For 'archive,' these are all stored in my email(s) under dedicated folders or labels. 👀

I just looked, and I have 60+ folders in my Outlook email and use 20+ rules that move or forward those emails to dedicated groups 😅 And we're mainly talking about notifications from 20+ different organizations and countless sites lol

Anyway, to get back on the topic, have you tried using Rovo for specific summaries? Something like this: Summarize content using Rovo 
I was wondering if a feature like this one could 'replace' the actual need to browse through a long list of notifications 🤔

Cheers,
Tobi
